Well, im going to someone on here ( dont wanna put out names for courtesy sake :P ) make me a pre runner bumper and i wanted to know if its possible to make a bolt on one. I really dont want to drill/weld/tap into my frame. Any ideas or pics?

 

james duff makes them but i thinks its for pre 97 rangers. Not sure i would have to check but it shouldn't be that hard. It would probably cost extra though.

 

yep they are only for the 97 and back man sorry.

 

i have one made by fabtech. its bolt on though and you gotta drill the bumper (no big deal)

 

are you sure? Im talkin like, full tube bumper with skid plate and all lol

 

Who are you going to to help you make your bumper?????

 

I want one like this, but bolt on.

 

you! lol remmber? you were gunna get back to me on what supplies i needed to get? :P

 

Hahaha im sitting here laughing. I was waiting for you to catch it. Yeah I'm eager to start bending and welding again but I just haven't had time. Monday I will go buy some more tube and start a new one but since you don't want to mess with your frame it will be hard to find spots to bolt on to but don't worry I'll figure it out. After I posted the pictures I've had 5 people message me saying they want me to build them a bumper and about 3 guys at work want me to make them one. I think im going to make a few that are simple like the one on my truck and then if anybody wants something different I can just weld more pieces to make it to their liking. I just think paying $300+ for a tube bumper is just too much. I spent about $250 making mine. $110 for 20 feet of 1.75" .120 wall DOM steel tubing, $70 pipe bender, $50 angle grinder and a bunch of cutting wheels, and luckily borrowed a friends welder who said I can use it as much as I want. So I have all the tools to make as many as I want but the problem is I don't have the time.

 

here ya go:
