That's why I added the corners, I prefer the stubby look!

Here's the front I just made back in July. Very simple. 1/4x2x4. One thing that freaked me out was the weld-on D-ring tabs so these are both welded and bolted.

So I can get this bumper for $200, unsure of the brand or if it's home made but it seems solid. You guys think it's worth it?

Haven't seen lowrange's, but I have seen Dukie's.... I don't know what they spent in material, but I got mine off of ebay for 10 bucks shipped.

So I sanded it down and sprayed it with Berliner and it turned out pretty well, anyone know who the manufacturer is? I'm trying to fine a lightbar or bullbar or whatever to just bolt on so I don't have to fab one up haha
