well the only thing i paid for were the clevises. i could build another but it might take some time. i dont buy metal very often but im estimating 100 to 150. the whole bumper is tig welded. i could do like $350 to build it. i already have a guy wanting me to build him on for his super duty. after he saw mine i just finished it on saturday.

[compleckz]

its the kind of bumper i would want too

what did you use for a bender?

Count me in on that bumper. Just what I was looking for! It's perfect! Best one I have ever seen! Only problem is that I have a Stepside.
Fantastic job on that!
How long did it take you to fabricate?

I would add some more gussets from the flat step portion down to the lower tube angling in to resist twisting from being used as a step. I would also add one on each corner to give that wrap around some crumple resistance, and one on each side to give it some fold in resistance so you dont waste your quarter panel should you ever find yourself sliding into a tree on the trail, or telephone pole on the street. Just a few thoughts for improvement, other than that it is a very nice idea, and fairly well thought out. Congratulations on finishing it. FWM.

it's official,we all like your bumper.so,when you opening your own shop and shipping orders?it truly is a thing of beauty,good work!

man... thanks gents! i plan on doin more to it. im actually not finished but i wanted to c what it looked like with paint. hi-temp rattle can paint.
i have to make a bracket for the license plate lights and reenforce the mounting brackets and 4 more pices of tubing going from the outer top tube to the bottom tube and reenforce the reciever. i plan on being able to use a hi-lift from the corners.
possibly some lights.

btw, i used a hyd. bender. im not sure of the brand but ill get it later.


and not too sure on the man hours. id work on it here and there(weekends) and did a few design changes as i went. since it was my first bumper of this design i could probably do it in like under 36 man hours.

You should start production on the bumpers, hell you already have a back log. LOL
