Angry Monkey Winch Bumper BUILD

That looks great! take pride in knowing you built it yourself. I have torn down and rebuilt my 78 Jeep twice. I do not count my own labor when I am doing something for myself I call it fun progress. nice welding for such a short time doing it. Again nice job and great looking results.

 

Well finally got motivated to finish this project. I needed a bumper for our trip so I painted it without finishing the sides. Bumper worked great for the trip, so I slathered paint stripper all over it and got back to work.



What's left of my 4x4 sheet of 10 gauge. More than I expected

 

I weighed it today since I put the sides on. It weighs 90 lbs. That's a little less than most after market bumpers available. I may add a couple gussets to the wings before I paint it again, which will probably add no more than 3-4 lbs.

 

Good job. I like how the line on the bumper follows the line down from between the headlights and grill.

 

Awesome Job!
I tried my hand at welding off an on for the last couple of years, my welds still don't look nearly as good as yours do.
Again Awesome job!

 

Realized I never posted a finished product here.

Enjoy:
