This should give you some good idea on how to make yours.

 

That looks cool, but what's up with the narrow slot for the winch fairlead? I think the standard is 10". And if you are putting a winch, you need a couple of access holes to activat the clutch and so forth.

 

well that photo is off an old dodge ram i found online it was just to show if maybe someone had some kind of diagram like that but for our trucks.

 

Check out relentless fabrications, i just saw the thread today for a 2012 bumper. Much anticipated!

 

wellllll i looked at there websight but i havent seen anyone that has messuerments like i need its getting to the point that i might have to wing it and do it little by little till its perfict

 

bump any mesuerments???

 

most fabricators like relentless who fab bumpers like this and sell them as a business probably aren't just going to hand over that which they have spent countless hours to design and sell.

your best bet is to either buy one from them, find someone that did their own custom bumper and see if they are willing to share their work, or just do one up yourself and make it completely custom... i just bought one from elite. lots of options out there if you decide to buy, endless options if you decide to build yourself


good luck and post pics of what you decide on

 

thanks for the opinion i will be posting pic but i wasent planing on getting messuerments from the company them self but i was hoping like someone like you the owns a bumper can just give me some basic messuerments like the length of the front peaces or the angels...

 

Looking forward to seeing it finished!!!

 

thanks for the support guys! honestly i just made a prototype out of thin plywood and its looking really good im taking it to the shop sometime next week and im going to be thinking of any add ons i can put on to it even though i dont want to add a ton of little things my main concern is to make it as strong and durable as possible.

Okay...20 days...whats new?

 

im just waiting to see if anyone can provide some simple mesuerments but i have the steel and is drawn up already i just dont want to cut it out and hav it go to waste.

 

I thought you said you had a plywood one that fit perfectly? Can't you transfer the measurements to the metal?
