How much do it cost in metal to make? And what is the thickness.

Some of the measurments dont make sense like on the green parts the top cant be only 2" and is the center red part made of a 2x5 piece and a 2x2 piece. also the yellow parts are made of 2 pieces so is the top piece of the yellow part a 2x4 piece of metal?

I want to build this bumper but I also want to be able to put a winch on it. Does anyone see why I wouldn't be able to put a winch behind the bumper?

Steel characteristics?

Hi I am wondering what gauge steel you used for this build?

Also I have begun drafting a modified version of your great design in solidworks. It fashions a winch mounting location in the middle instead of the front hitch receiver. Anyone who is interested in the designs can PM me.

I have a 1991 Ford Ranger and I'm looking for custom front and rear bumpers. I like ARB and Iron Cross but I cant find a company that makes them for the 1991. Has anyone else found a fabricator that makes them for the 91 Ranger?

Thanks,

Paul

There really aren't many options for a ranger. You're better off making your own or if you have some fabrication skills you can custom fit one to your truck. I custom mounted a trail gear bumper made for a Toyota pickup to my truck. Not hard but definitely took some time.

Unfortunately I have zero welding skills. One of my neighbors can weld ...if I can get all the parts together he might do it. I bought my last custom winch bumper for my 96 taco from Bentup dot com and love it. I see alot of fabrictors making them for the newer rangers just not the older ones like 1991.

c4x4 has some bumper for rangers. Go check out mikeriders build thread. I think it's titled, "project search and rescue"

if you were closer I could try and hook you up with building one. But by your location it seems like you are on planet Zebulon, and that sounds far away.

This is f**king awesome. Thank you so much for posting these pictures. As soon as the lift I ordered gets in, I will be having a bumper fab'ed. This will save me some time and money!!! This is exactly what I was looking for.
