Ok, I've been tossing the thought around in my head the past couple weeks. And now that I've got a Waag going on soon, I'm losing the skidplate that was on the bull bar. I do a little bit of wheelin and most of it requires me to run over small trees and whatnot, so I need the protection underneath.

I need some pics of NON-PRERUNNER, "non-weeny", front bumpers. I'm gonna check out some of the local welding shops to see what they can do for me.

Here's the requirements:

-Must work with the WAAG Bar
-Must have a skidplate that reaches to the front suspension
-Must have a winch mount and d-rings

All in all, I just need a tough front bumper that can withstand a good beating and be able to pull me out.

 

um just get a stock skid plate...dur....there like $100 at the dealer btw..

 

but like I said, I want something that can pull my dumb *** out if I get stuck...

 

ok take the waag off and do it right with the waag on its going to look highly odd...

 

arg! Your making me angry....lol. Ok, I'll just get someone to make me a heavy duty skidplate to go with the WAAG and then save up to get a bumper made.

How you like dem apples...

 

I'm w/ zach on this one....a heavy bumper with a winch and a tiny lil waag bar is going to look highly.....retarted

 

OK. gee whiz. Well, this this is dead now, is there a way to mount lights off the side of the WAAG??

 

I still dont understand ur idea...keep the stock bumper and add on to the waag bar like a brush guard, or custom bumper w/ a waag on it?

 

why? if your thinking of mounting a winch on the waag that aint happening it aint strong enough...

 

tow hooks????

 

ya thats what i was thinking lol...

 

Do it right the first time

 

No, mounting 2 sets of lights on the waag. Mounting one set where they usually go and mounting another set off the sides.

 

hes not using the waag as a winch mount or tow out... he wants a new bumper for that, and then he likes the look of the waag so i guess he'd like it on there if he can

idk

 

Well, yeah that's what i was saying. But I guess that's not such a good idea. Does anyone have a close up shot of the side of the waag so i can see if I could mount an extra set of lights on the side??

 

That'd look..werid. but here ya go http://www.freeftp.hostharbor.com/gr...ture%20005.jpg

 

Here are some other shots.

 

Thanks guys. I think I'm gonna go with the Hella Rallye 4000s euro beams. just one set for now, since all these mods are puttin a hurtin on my wallet. I'll upgrade to a total front bumper when I do some kinda lift.

 

Here's a design I've been playing with for a couple days. I think this is a pretty good one, I've just got to get some measurements made. If I took this to a fab shop, do you think they would laugh at me or help me out?? I took the basic design shape from a Land Rover site, but I can't find it now. Here ya go...

 

looks like it would stick out alot. perhaps shortening it a bit?

 

yeah.

that looks like it would stick out more than the bumpers on our f250...

 

Yeah be careful how far it sticks out, to far out and it will not pass inspection in some states.. Looks good though.

 

I have modified the designa little bit, like taking the rounded edges and making them straight to the winch box. And also moving the winch box back a little, Ii have got any measurements for it yet, but I'll make sure to bring the front in just long enough to fit the winch in there.

BTW, I really like yours, DOC

 

Yeah I would skip the WAAG bar certainly. That bumper looks like it's got some potential!

Though it looks like there's a chunk missing out of it in the side shots... like where the skidplate would go.

 

that was gonna be the hole for the front hitch receiver, butI'im gonna get it integrated.
