The Black Beauty's Bumper.

[Danger-Ranger96]

So it's still not quite done yet, (stinger and I have to shim it so it sits level on the truck) it was late last night. I am thinking i'm going to have to get my stinger mandrel bent, as i was unsuccessful on bending it myself (did not have a bender that was assembled...it was in pieces) AND I kinked my first piece of pipe, cock suckers. Anyways heres how it went about mounting it and what have you, I have to shim it 1/4'' so the outside corners are following the body line and not the crossmember line (where it's attached) It's mounted with 6x4x1/2'' angle that I coped down to 1.5''-2''x 4''.

The steel pile:

Drilling my lugs that was a sharp bit!

Painted and mounted:

I went with tube simply for the fact that I didn't want to grind 90 degree corners into radius edges. Keeps it nicer looking with less grinding marks.

Turned out real nice! I went back to a receiver set up for my bumper. I still have to get some tabs for d-rings.
