Bumper Build Plans?

Anyone have any blue prints for a bumper for a 1998?

I have a guy that could fabricate me one for cost.

Just needed some good plans.

 

Just come up with one! Thats what i did i just need to build it now.

 

Sorry, I don't just give up my plans for free. A lot of work goes into designing stuff like that

 

Cum, I really appreciate you taking the time to type out such an useless reply.

 

Look at other bumper pics and get ideas and built one to your liking.

 

you'd have better luck with this search on TTORA.
I'm with cummins6speed. there's a bunch of work in designing a good bumper, so most wont just give out plans...

 

Im just wanting some simple. Want to get rid of this pos plastic stock bumper.

 

Just look at a design then measure your truck mounting points...

 

your gonna need a tube bender, welder, tube cutter, measure tools, and other useless stuff. cummins is right, it takes alot of time to come up with a plan and even more to actually build it! just type in the search thing on top bumper, 1st gen bumper, tube bumper, plate bumper...... blah blah blah

 

I have access to all the tools and materials. Just trying to figure out a simple plan.

 

rip off all the stock crap, determine your mounting points and then start building the bumper with the look you're going for in mind, as well as the functionality you want the end product to have. For instance, you want a winch? Make sure you make the bumper stick out enough and have enough height inside to clear the winch you want. Just go from there. Grab a sheet of cardboard and a box knife, cut a few little templates of certain plates as you go until it looks the way you want, then transfer the pattern to steel and cut it out. Use a grinder to clean edges and make the seams tight, then tack weld in place and keep doing that til theres a bumper on the truck...

 

this is exactly how me and my buddy build my bumper. just start with cardboard then go from there.

Badass Bumper DonnoD

 

I have the same truck. I plan to build my own bumper! I'll send you picks of the final product and a detailed plan and what you will need and final cost.

 

The design is really the most time consuming part.

Just have a idea what you want and build it

Mine was fast and quick a piece of 3"x5" x3/16" tube and some brackets .

All I really wanted or needed.

 

Holy thread revival. If he hasn't figured out a bumper in 4 years he never will.

Seriously doubt he cares anymore either way. Now lets let this zombie thread die again.

 

no.

 

Looks like hes still active on here though. Well see!

 

Simple bumper idea 2x6 rectangle stock n bolt up.
