Prerunner bumper finally built!
I'm pretty new to ranger forums so I want to say what's up to everybody. This is my first post and I want to see what you guys think. Here's a few pics of the first prerunner bumper I've attempted. This took me about 3 days to finish because I had to teach myself how to weld. I used a mig welder and some cheap pipe bender I bought for $70. Tell me what you guys think.

I looked up tube benders on Ebay and found one for $69.99. I saw that they were located in La Verne which is like 20 minutes away from me so instead of paying $60 for shipping i just picked it up. The place is called T Motorsports.

I used 1 3/4" .120 wall DOM steel tubing. I didn't really know what to use so I found a few threads on what size other people used and I just went from there. I found a 1/8" piece of steel in my buddies garage so I used that for my skid plate. I want to get thicker piece but that will do for now. I'm going to start making another bumper soon and this time it will be 100% bolt on. Once I get that going I'll take the ideas people have given me and try to make it to everyone's liking.

What a lame bumper... you're truck is junk... I mean, seriously. WTF were you thinking? Only lame people who work at Home Depot have gay little ranger's like you...
I'll pick up some tube soon and we'll do mine. Still gonna need to use your bender.
Looks clean. Show 'em some pics of the rest of the truck.

Good start for your first one. Looks good, and get one going for Nick, he needs it, :) . You guys need to head on up to Pismo this year so we can get a meet going. I started with the 6.0 and now have their race L/T kit with links in the rear. Be prepared to spend a lot more, this sport is addicting!
