Default Making a custom front tube bumper. Need help.

A buddy and I are going to fab up a front tube bumper and we were wondering where we could get steel tubing from and how much we need and what it'll cost us. This is also going to be a progress thread too. Thanks.

there are places on line to buy steel if you don't have a local shop. but local will always be cheaper since you don't have to ship. and the tread by warpath will give you a good idea of what material to use

length = just measure where your going to build it and how and then figure a few extra feet.

cost = dont know what material your going to use or what your locality is.

where = look in the phone book for steel distributor/retailer
