Default my iron scorpion bumper build. pics included

when i was looking at iron scorpion bumpers, i couldnt find any detailed builds so i took a pic at every major step. hope it helps someone else.

heres what the kit includes


the jeep with the stock bumper removed


the "minor trimming" required to put the pin in the reciever. i used a cutoff wheel on a grinder. also, be careful if its running and youre putting the pin in... the harmonic balancer is kinda close


the kit is pretty simple. i heated the tabs for bending although its not necessary


the gussets


the second bend forming the angles of the bumper


testing for fitment


the reciever tube seems pretty strong. it comes with some gussets. a havent pulled from it but i think it would do fine. just hung a rod rack from it so far.


another angle


forming the corners


another angle on the corners


the tacked bumper as a whole


and the rear


heres my jeep. it came out alright, i was 17 at the time and did it all. its kinda dull in the photos because its just rattle can and this was probably after 1000 miles on the road


side angle, the brackets hanging below are tow points not a part of the bumper


another angle


my only regret is not getting the winch bumper. this thing looks pretty sharp as is and would look great on a nice rig with some lift and tires. at the time of the pics mine had a 2in and 235/75r15 tires.

update! alright i fixed it some haha. i cant resize them on photobucket for some reason so sorry. let the hate begin! haha oh well... someone may find it useful

forming it was quick but what took forever was welding and grinding... it took about 5hrs start to finish. i used a little lincoln mig welder from home depot and a grinder.

Not too bad. I've been looking at this bumper for quite awhile and never knew of anyone that built one. Thanks for the info.

looks pretty good, if you want a winch get one of the winch plates that will slide into the receiver.

This bumper has entered my head for this summer. Any better/bigger pics of it?

This is also the one that costs $140 isn't it?

So far I'm loving how it looks.
