Front Bumper build
That looks really good! I just read through the whole thing, and I dont think I read a weight for it. How much does that weigh?
for the fogs ever thought about putting them on the bottom with a hinge to lift them up behind the bumper for when you're off the pavement and dont want them damaged?

I still think they would get hit from underneath. If I do them they will be in the bumper just looks better imo. The square fogs look ok not sure if i like them yet, but the round ones are pretty big and might look weird on it.
Good point, what about quick release pins and quick disconnect wiring connectors? simple and easy.
Idk I like them being permanent, But thats not a bad Idea.
yes, i just am not fully done with it yet so I was leaving all the grinding till I was done cutting up and welding stuff on it. I think I'm going to just finish it all up before I go this week and get it all cleaned and painted and figure out the fogs later on.
haha yeah I do like them, they are big and I have some badass silverstars in them anyways
I rarely have my plate in. I ussually only run it when I am going out of state. This time I will probably have my light bar in at least until I get to madison.
man i love your truck!!! and i love your bumper too... i've been lurking around the forums for a few hours now and all these bumper builds are making me want to rip the stock ones off my ranger and put the ones from my chevy on the ford.. the front is 2x3 rectangular tubing and the rear is 4x4 square tubing bolted to the frame.. especially when the stock bumpers collect all the mud and crap and its a real pain to dig it out..
thanks.. i just got onto photobucket and im uploading some pics right now... i did some measuring today and the front tube bumper off my chevy is a pretty much bolt on deal, the back i'd have to narrow the brackets a bit.. will post pics soon.
I love it!
Thats wat i like to see! Built Not Bought!!!any one can buy a big bad bumper not not too many can build one!

thanks man! yeah plus you cant get anything for bumpers for a new gen truck really. But if you gots plenty of money placed will mod them for one but yeah. Making it is half the fun. I like tube bumpers too, I just didnt have a way to do one at the time so I went with a plate style.
Winch behind it is still a maybe, there is plenty of room behind it. But I still might do the 2" receiver mount so I can take it off in the winter. I dont think road salt etc would be good for it.
