Went to CA to hang out with my buddy and we put together a bumper for the truck. Now before I get reamed on how "this or that" isnt perfect. I know it isn't, trust me. But regardless, doesn't bother me. We had a good time building it, and for a $50 bumper, I won't complain!

I'll be painting it black here pretty soon, the stock cross-member was replaced with 2" steel square stock. Along with a pair of Excursion tow hooks. The new bumper actually stiffened the front end up pretty well. More than I figured it would. The two lights are temporary. I'll have four soon.

With that out of the way!

 

Looks fun.

 

looks like fun mike

 

yep we had a good time, went about 60 miles off road today.

little baby jump haha

 

I kinda like the bumper. Add some plating in some areas and itll look even better. Nice pics. Oh and your truck looked really badass for some reason when you came around that turn in your video.

 

dang that place looks like fun!
i must say, i like that bumper a lot! looks tough! get some closer up pics! and are you painting it?

 

and that jump looks fun lol

dont think i could ever do that in my truck tho lol

 

Thanks guys, i said i wouldn't jump my truck. but i did it in the white ranger. it's SO much fun, not too hard on the truck. I had it in the air several times today, drove it 240 miles back home to Vegas.

And painting it Black...soon

 

looks awesome!!

looks like you tore it up

 

interesting....idk bout the stock bumper underneath though...kinda makes the tube look too pushed down. but idk.

 

Looks awesome dude. You just got stock suspension on your truck?

 

Stock height is also a factor in that. We'll see how it looks when the new spindles show up. I think it'll fit more on the truck once its lifted.

 

Stock as you can get besides a torsion crank(for an Edge)

 

bumper looks horrible! cut it off and send it to me :)
no but really it looks awesome i like how you used the upper stock bumper, skid plate time???

 

HELL YEAH!!!

Lets get some better shots of the new bumper.

 

We didn't have anything to run for a skid at the time. So that bottom hoop keeps the radiator/condensor outta harms way, there are two 1.5" tubes that go down to the bottom k-member. I'll end up with one eventually

 

that looks good man.. i like it alot.

 

bumper looks good 1 and for 50 bucks cant beat that

 

i like how it look with the stock bumper... if it were me id have a winch on it lol... getting air is freakin fun man i got like almost 7 feet off the ground before.

 

i'd do a winch, but a winch on a 2wd is kinda retarded. so i'll just have lights there. lights and the stupid strong crossmember thats now there. stock one is pathetic!

 

gonna try and get started on paintin it black today :D

 

man that bumper is awesome, i like how you left the stock in there too, just removed the lower valance, definately get some more pictures of that up! and the skid plate will be great on it. i gotta get me a welder so i can make myself some nice things.

 

Nice man, did you end up doing it in Simi? Where did you go wheelin at??

 

yea, but i forgot to grab your number before i left! sorry about that.

we were out in Castaic.

 

Bumper looks pretty good.
