Solved my bumper problem

[shawnr]

Couldn’t find a bumper that I liked for front or rear so I made some up today got the rear finished up and a good start on front just have to make the winch mount kicking around the idea of making some of the bumpers for sell if there is any interest for them

Wow. Great work!

Nice work. What material did you use. 1/4 plate steel maybe?

The front was way over kill it’s 1/4” I had leftover from a bbq smoker I just finished up building

I’d stick with 1/4. If you make a better bumper for a better price you’ll have a nice edge in the market.

Are you using channel or tubing on the bumpers? How did you get the torx screws out of the cover over the power steering pump? I wanted to pull that off to work on my tow bar install, just couldn’t get screws out of the darn rubber grommets that appear to hold that on!

Ah, I see your additional post on materials!

You’re supposed to pull the rubber grommets out. I installed a universal winch plate and I just fished some bolts through the frame using light guage wire. You’ll need to hold saw a 1 1/2 hole over the steering box where the adjustment bolt is at.

Really nice fabrication !

 

[P Bleskey]

Your bumpers turned out really nice.

 

[Woodsman74881]

Great job. You have skills!

Those are the best looking bumpers I've seen so far...great job! Are the back sides boxed in, or open channel?
I like the looks of some of the aftermarket bumpers, but I've always wondered how strong they really are...I would bet yours are stronger. How much would you charge for them?

Are you still considering selling your bumpers? I am very interested in a rear just like yours shows with the room for lights and the receiver. I am in Southern Utah and my dealer isnt very helpful, (not the one I originally bought from)

Nice clean work, good job. You could sell those easily.
