Frick bro sweet bumper. Definitely got some decent fab skills. Check my prerunner bumper out in the bumper builds thread.

But yea I know what you mean. I'm 18 and I dream of being a fabricator and building race trucks and buggies, Ill be starting and aircraft structures program in January. Start small, build bumpers, light bars etc for locals maybe sell a few online, get some cash and tools together. Heck I might even be interested in a light bar for my Mazda soon.

i'd love to have one of those bumpers on the front of my truck now that bambi is done playing.
how much would it be to have one of those made? or can you order one from somewere?

Na you wont make it....... haha only kiddin, thats a very nice bumper! Yeah i did basically what ckblum said to do. built small stuff like bumpers and stuff on my HD and now have sold a few to a few guys here in AZ from another site. Then i went to work for JaggedX for a summer (they are good friends of ours) workin on full custom rhinos and such and i also built our race rhino there. from there im now buildin my race truck i have always dreamed to do. Just takes time and practice!

by the way where did you mount the top part of the bumper too? what size tube adn thickness did ya use? sorry for all the questions, i love to see how people did stuff.

Looks real similar to the bump on the frt of my Ranger we built a few years back. Nice Job!
I always use .134 wall dom tubing and the size needed for the project usually 1 3/4.
