Anything welding

Just ask my wife!

 

@Kwikvette Have you cut out any camper bumper reinforcement brackets? They’re made to fit 4”-4.5” square tube bumpers. Like this:

 

I've never seen such a thing; I'm always willing to add more to the list.

How thick are those anyway?

 

1/4”? Can you cut that?

Here are my measurements for my camper. The one in the bottom left is 1”

 

They also show the inside corners radiused, I guess to prevent cracking?

 

What do you use these brackets for?

 

I made these brackets for my RV with my plasma table. They work great!

 

what does it need?

just be careful with the underbidding-- a few will always value the quality, and perhaps the deal they got, but the vast majority only care about completing the job for the lowest cost.

 

They keep the bumper from twisting when you add weight like a bike rack with bikes on it. The bumper and mounts are thin metal with minimal welds.

 

I can knock some out in 3/16" as that works well for aftermarket offroad bumpers?

 

Has your bumper tried to twist or flex? We have a pop up, so it may be lighter than yours?

 

PM me a price!

 

If you can work out dimensions on what works for your setup, I can figure out material usage for sure.

@Kwikvette and if you think the 1” pieces need to be beefier/tapered, you know more than me!

 

Man, I wish I was that kwik to draw

Oh wait

 

Not at all.

I purposely overloaded the box to see if any sag was noticed. Just got back from 1600 mile round trip. It's still exactly the same as when I installed it.

Looking at it to see all that's involved, I'll say this - at $80 for thicker than 3/16" steel, powdercoated, and with hardware this is one of those items that's definitely a better value to purchase from Amazon versus having me cut it out

$10 alone would be the USPS flat rate, then you've got material cost (and no hardware)

 

How thick are the brackets where your bumper attaches?

 

Thank you for looking into this!
