Bumper- little Different
 
5 Attachment(s)
wanted a different style bumper than the off-road look. so here it is, 11ga steel. top and bottom templates made then welded the main piece from center out to edges.

Not bad, how do you like those rims?

98liftedranger 11-13-2010 10:07 AM

That's ugly as sin. Too big and not practical

djfllmn 11-13-2010 10:19 AM

not bad...would work nice as a pushbar too

camodown 11-13-2010 11:01 AM

put some front spikes on it and you got some mad max action going on

only complaint so far is the center caps dont fit correctly, had to put washer behind it to push it out and make it seat evenly.
but, easy to clean up.

plan is to either, put an oval cut out in the center with a mesh style cover after i get a bigger turbo to put in for the intercooler. or 2 after i do a 4x4 swap put a winch behind it

Agree 110%. Cut it in 5 inches off the bottom. Add clevises and mount up some foglights.

ranger4.0 11-14-2010 08:28 PM

looks ugly as hell! needs to be higher and pushed out a little bit more. needs more on the front... it kinda looks like you just threw on a piece of bent metal and called it a bumper

you drive a ranger not a tractor trailer

lol my thoughts exactly!!

Downey 11-14-2010 09:32 PM

lol glad im not the only one. why would you use 11 gauge. im sure if you hit something it would just bend anyway,

ranger4.0 11-14-2010 09:38 PM

judging by his pics there is no real support/strength to this bumper... therefore no real benefit or use anyways

If downey hit anything with his truck it would disintegrate

Sweet, 4BT Ranger eh? Any pics of the swap job? I bet they're all over the place but I haven't seen 'em. I can appreciate the craftsmanship that went into the job, no point bashing something that was done well - even if it is a little out of place on a Ranger. Its definitely different. Cheers

Bird76Mojo 11-14-2010 11:03 PM

At least it doesn't have any duct tape on it. I've seen far worse things built in my day.

Cut some holes for fog lights and run it.

Wbfd18 11-15-2010 05:43 AM

the support is 1/4" plate with 2" square stock
