the winch bumper build

Endoverend47 · Jan 30, 2011

still alot left to build on it, but its starting to take shape. you can only build so fast with a cut-off wheel :dunno:

if you look close you can see my friends 240sx(sr20det, rhd, cage, megan coilovers, fuel cell etc)

how it sits at the moment

in some spots it doent look square and level in the pictures but believe me everything is square and equal. just crappy cell pictures.

and this is why i hate cutoff wheels. this one blew up as soon as it touched the metal, never by cutoff wheels at ACE they are crap . and yes thats the ceiling of my garage

its almost done, i need to do the ends and bedline it

that's a sweet bumper man, good job on it.

the only crappy wheels i buy for my angle grinder are the sanding ones. for cutoff and grinding i buy dewalts from lowes or home depot. never had one bust on me and i'd had my grinder for 8 years

Bumper looks really nice, well built! I just have 1 question and 1 criticism. Does the truck have air bags (I would assume yes since 94). You have a bracket welded across the convolusions in your front frame rails, this series of convolusions and diamond shaped holes are what is called a crumple zone. Crumple zones are designed to react in a certain way in a collision to absorb energy and not transfer energy. They are part of the energy management system and also effect airbag timing. If it is not an off road only rig you open yourself up for some liability issues if anyone "ever" gets hurt in that truck. The liability falls back on the person that modified the energy management system. Not trying to be a kill joy, just wanted to share some information that most probably do not know.
