Bumper
Well, my spring perches and shock mounts didnt come in. and i was at my buddies which is where i have welding access. So i looked around in my barn and found a few feet of 2 x 2 x 0.25" tubing. So i was like, i will go make a bumper. So i went to the office real quick and drew up a simple bumper on 3D CAD and printed out drawings with dimensions to make the build easier.
I want somthing tough but not big and bulky. my 1/4" wall tubing is also heavy so i dont want to use too much of it to save in weight. I also dont want it stickin out the front too far but do want a winch someday. so i integrated a 2" receiver into it.
heres what i came up with:
and the frame connections are not shown in the drawings
