Quick questions im not new to fab but just wanted to get some opinions. For making a homemade front bumper should i use the factory bumper mounting brackets, or make my own. Also same question with the back, i havent taken the bumpers off yet so i dont know how they are held on to the body..
Thank you

 

Usually u use plates cutout with mounting holes that run down the "frame". Check out jcr offroad's mounts.

 

thank you i will check it out and hopefully be starting soon

 

Cool. And if u want click my homemade front bumper for ideas. There's pics all throughout the pages

 

If you aren't new to fab, just make some. Heres a shot from in my fender, you can see the mounting bracket I made in the lower right corner or the pic. I made it hit all factory locations. Its just 1/2" plate. I later welded it, my 10k warn moved it a little winching someone out.

 

Sorry, my mobile app is acting up. Not sure why that axle pic got uploaded.

 

That's not really a bumper. That's more of a Im going to slice thru anything i hit metal plate. Are you sure that legal?

 

Ya its legal, meets all the requirements for Ohio, not sure about your state.

 

Are you kidding... My state is full of hippies. They frown at anyone not driving a vw or a smart car.

 

And im not sure how you consider that, not a bumper. Works better than any boughten bumper ive ever seen on the trail. I can push myself up onto anything with it.

 

California? Lol.

 

Washington. Seattle area.

 

Oh, the only thing we have is a height requirement, mines a little high, but its not really enforced around here. At least ive never been bothered at all since I had my jeep. I used ti get hassled in my big Ford, but not anymore.

 

bs! no d rings : ) that would def not fly in ny but i like the patina : ) and nice trail style great approach tho...

 

trev ur #106(in my thread) do you have a build or link for your bumper?
