Keystone State Thread

I'm right in Ambler/Horsham, I've seen you around!

This is a little question to everyone. I'm looking for a DIY bumper for a project for myself next summer. know of anyone who does them or who would? when i say DIY i mean weld together. So far I've heard of NWIT and relentless fab doing them. i can't shell out 1k for a number but for a few hundred plus a bunch of hours on the welder i wouldn't mind. thanks guys! and Happy New Year!

 

I seen a kit that they give you plates and you have to weld them together, about 400 i think for kit
Just got my mig welder so was considering getting one but maybe later

 

thats about what NWIT's kit is priced at. it looks good to me but i wanna see all my options before choosing one

 

Joe is correct Sam - Relentless is the way to go with the DIY route.

 

i emailed them few mins ago and hoping to hear back because its not on their website. I've been teaching my self how to weld for a few months now and this is definitely something i could tackle.

 

I definitely like the look of theirs bumpers better. i think i may pm @Shmellmopwho to see how much he got it for, if he doesn't mind me asking haha

 

I didnt see option on their site for kit

 

Unfortunately I don't think they're doing DIY kits anymore

 

Yeah a source told me recently that they will probably no longer be doing them

 

well shit.... Ill keep looking for options for now until i hear back from them. I just spent an hour and a half going through your build thread. sweet truck dude. i love the fact almost everything is handmade. puts some character into the build. really admire it!

 

I'm sure there are a couple companies that make a DIY kit. The relentless kit is super awesome though! Dude, I really appreciate that. Means a lot. I've really enjoyed building my truck and building a bunch of stuff for it! It was an honor to win Build thread of the year this year. Any questions you might have I'd be happy to answer. Don't be shy to pop on in on my build and chit chat whenever.

 

Design what you want buy the material put it together

I have friends who cut what they needed with a4 1/2" grinder and cutting disc others who used a water jet and every thing in between in the end one is slower but end results looked the same bolted to the truck

 

How does one get small scale water jet cutting and plate bending?

 

I've got a place for that.

 

Job Shop, there are number of small shops in our area that specialize in one off work.

 

Wonder if my friend would cut something like this up. But he only has plasma cutting table. I did went out for my work to work on colling for laser cutting table so they might be able to cut that as well.

They made custom bumper for his beater forester so im sure something can be fabed up

 

Fix there machines ASAP when they break down After most often doing something dumb

 

Its was fixed when i left. Pretty cool to see how they cut with it, but i guess looks almost like plasma, just better finish

 

i looked around and theres a shop in montgomeryville that looks like they could do something like this. might give them a call in the spring. the name was Craftweld Fabrication inc.

 

i think i may go the true "diy" route and find a shop like them. even if i end up not liking it theres always someone who would buy it on here
