Default Custom Diamond Plate Bumper

This is the front bumper that I fabricated a few weeks ago. The whole bumper is made of diamond plate and its incredibley strong. I cut all the diamond plate with an oxy-acetylne torch and its welded with a Hobart MIG 110 using flux-cored wire. The brackets behind are welded straight to the frame. I also welded tow hooks to it. But Jeeps don't get stuck so I'm noy sure why they are there. Gonna be building a rear bumper soon once I get more acetylne. Custom Diamond Plate Bumper-bumper.jpg

Good point, but I guess I do need them. I managed to get myself stuck in a muddy creek. I need some tires!

Sticks out kinda far.
