PAshooters Bumper Build
2 Attachment(s)
So I finally got around to building my bumper because my original was bent from a deer hit and was rusting through.
I modeled it off of wolfman00's old bumper that is now mothman999's. Its made from a skeleton of 1 inch square tubing thats 1/8" thick. Here's pictures while we were still getting the skeleton built. Attachment 80755 Attachment 80756 It was all done with a Lincoln Electric Eagle 10,000. I am lucky enough to have a pap whos a gas line welder, so his beads are very nice. We have it mostly covered now with 10 gauge steel and after that I plan on bondoing it to make all the imperfections go out of it and then hurculining it. |
cant wait to see it!
|
WellWe got all the welding and grinding done. Tomorrow I plan on bondoing it and painting it.
|
Looking forward to the finished pics! Good idea using the 1x1's for the frame of it... I never thought of that. I guess it would make it possible to use a thinner plate on top if it's reinforced well in behind like that.

Looks good, but very big.
|
Do you plan on putting a winch up there?
|
holy big bumper! looks good man
|
It is a little big, but i may put a winch in it. I think once I put my 3 hellas back on and add the light hoop itll look slightly smaller
|
Its all painted. My first try with bondo wasnt a very good one haha

I think if you trimmed about 3 inches off it, it would look perfect. Just sticks out a little too far for my liking.
|
It is a little farther than I planned on, but it was a design as you build type of deal. Ill probably rebuild it eventually and fix the dimensions a little.
|
not bad for a first time man
