for the longest time i've been having hard time finding a bumper that looks just perfect. it seems to me like most bumpers lack a little in the aesthetics department. well, i'm in the process of designing one, and any input is as always appreciated (even "i hate it").

cool pics how did you do that

Tural

featurecam, i do cnc programming

kool i like the design with all the angles its def diff

what do u think of the functionality. it should stick out on the side as far as the bushwacker flares and the winch sits inside the bumper, you have to bolt the winch in before you install the bumper. that way it's hidden and harder to steal.

does this look any better?

I really like the 2nd one. Very nice design. Cool to see what machinists can do! CNCs especially.

Tural

thank you. but i need some ideas, i need some criticism. after i've been looking at it for a while it's starting to look a bit too bulky.

Maybe trim it up a lil on the bottom going towards the tires. I'm sure it probably needs to be bulky in the middle, with the winch mounting inside of it.

How tall is it. I like to keep mine from 4-6" tall to keep a good approach angle. Its a vary nice looking bumper both of them and it all depends on what your purpose is. I would like the look of the first one but without a winch in it for my DD and GF wheeler. Its no punk on 36s lol. But for my trail rig I wouldn't run any of them. It has one task to be as functional as it can with the money I have. So what is its life going to be like?

Tural

how about this one?

to me it looks kinda too plain.

Looks sweet! plasma or water? I run a 5x10 wood router at school off of enroute4

I like the 2nd one best

Tural

i'm trying to design it for aesthetics as well as functionality. it's 12" tall. it has to be tall for the winch to have play room. there's way too much theft going on these days, so i'm trying to make the winch hard to steal.

the work has CNC laser. but my buddy works at the local waterjet shop. i gotta see which one is cheaper. i'm gonna get 3 sets cut. and if anybody else wants it, i can have extra sets cut and shipped for you to weld for yourself. that way it will leave room for adjusting it to your needs.

a little off topic... you can do a whole lot with CNC Cad/Cam programs. the guys in my national guard unit wanted me to design a wheel that screamed ARMY. and i did this.
