For a while now I have been talking baout making some bumpers. Well I am actually going to go through with it now. Tommorow I will be prototyping my first bumper. All the brackets will be CNC Cut. As will the bumper parts.

Here is a pic of the fab shop cutting the bumer brackets out on the table




I will be posting more pics tommorow of the bumper build.

Well I built the bumper yesterday. Unfortunately I didnt take many pics as Jon took a crap load of them.

Here is a pic of the brackets, and they worked perfectly.

Cant wait to see the outcome.
