testing it would mean rolling it and seeing if the radiator and other engine components didn't get crushed.. lol

or going down something steep enough to get the rear tires off the ground an balancing on the bumper to keep you from rolling end over end lol

 

lol yeah, not something i want to test on purpose.

 

I know lol, it was a joke.

 

you just need a full exo, then you can go test it on purpose

 

Zach, It looks great! I agree with Shane, first bumper of that style that looks good. I also agree with Chad, it would look much better and not over done if you had some flat metal around the KC's. I was thinking that before I saw his picture. I am just not a big fan of the frame and stuff being exposed like it is now.

 

it might be hard to get it to look right tho because of the bend where it hooks to the high loop and the bottom is straight. But what do I know lol

 

actually you are right on, not sure how i could accomplish this. have to look into it.

 

metal working to shape to it. takes time to learn, then die it after

 

its in the garage coated in primer, tomorrow color coat goes on. I forgot to weld on a flag mount so i need to do that tomorrow as well.

 

you might have answered but is it bolt on i take it?

 

it will be at a later time. i will also be able to bolt on the old valance if i want. just need to buy a few things to do it. but like i said dont to spend any money right now.

 

Fun feeling, ain't it?

 

lol actually i am enjoying it. buying other stuff i need. not truck parts. all the tube i am using i have had for 3-4 weeks, so far the only thing i bought for it was the winch and paint

 

damn zach...i love that bumper!...very different and unique design.....now start making me one

 

dang zach. i like it. not what i had in mind when you were explaining it.

 

it changed design, rather designed on the fly with what tube I had. LOL

 

your goin to be bolting up a valance to it? why? i think that a valance would take away from the overall look of the bumper and make it not look so good. but i guess if you get it on there and you dont like it you could take it off.

 

lol thats how everything is put together. lol
design it as you make it cause the ideas just keep rollin

 

are you keeping record of the bends you are using for each piece? just a thought you might wanna try incase you do happen to start building bumpers for other people to make some extra money and they want something it is on yours might make build time go a little faster.

 

nice, it complements the mud grapplers

 

I would do nasty stuff to that bumper!

 

no i think your confused. this bumper will be bolt on, and i can switch back and forth to each one...

 

i could try to make one but i make it all off looks and fitment, would be rough without making it on the truck.

 

why would you switch them around? lol

toob bumper > stocker

 

only because of winter and salt on the winch, not sure how that is all going to work out. the salt they use around here will have that sucker rusted in a matter of weeks.
