This is gonna look great. I personally do not want measurements or what not, because i want mine to be completely my own. Yeah guide folks and help 'em out, but dont hand them your own bumper.
You did say you were using 3/16 steel? wont that be kinda heavy? Im thinking of using 1/8 maybe, but im worried about strenth and it bending.

Dude...
Get those pieces on cad, and I'll see how much it would be to have those laser cut at my work... If all goes well, cost and time wise, There could easily be a market for these... If you know what I mean... I build those bumpers all day long for full size trucks, and I'd totally rock one of our bumpers (at work) if they had one designed... Have it powdered and ****...

CAD programs are expensive. Which is why I 'borrow' software like that.

It looks like the bumper sticks out really far from the corners, which I don't like very much - but it's not my bumper. If it were mine, I would do something similar to the gray Ranger and angle it in.
What will you be using to cut out the shapes in the metal? Have you figured out how to mount your lights behind the bumper?

as for the lights i may make some buckets outta some pipping, tho i will ad mit finding that size may be tricky. once i have tho, i wll set thim in about 1.5-2 inch.

Glad to hear that, the bumper should turn out nice then.
If you use piping, will you be able to aim your lights? I was thinking that you could create a point from the top of the bumper (inside) and mount the lights upside down, which would allow you to aim your lights. You would end up with some visible space between the bumper and the lights, but you could probably cover up by creating a cylindrical piece with thin metal sheeting.

Dan... We build light buckets for 6" lights and 4" lights... If you want tomorrow I'll snag a pic of what they look like and you tell me if you like em...
You know, get all the pieces put on paper, doesn't have to be to scale, but get them all on paper, and scan it or take a pic of it and send it to me... I've got all those programs (AutoCAD, Solidworks, etc)... If you do some revisions, lemme know... I might even be able to do a 3d representation of it in SolidWorks if I have all the dimensions and what not.
