    After searching for days I finally found a decent site with a nice bumper that sells diy bumper plans! Has anyone seen this brand? I may buy some and get it built. They only have 2 pictures of the bumper. Looks good but hard to tell without paint.

    That also includes paying a buddy to weld. Total material cost would be around 200-300

    That's awesome! Would probably cost me triple that with shipping to Hawaii.

    Nah it shouldn't. Buy the blue prints off the site. Bring to a local shop and email them. They will open the file on their plasma table. Cut out the bumper for around $200 with materials. You bring home and weld

    Wow! Your truck looks great! What did you use to paint the front black or was it always black. Mine is chrome, I want to make it black.

    Seen the site a while ago. Wonder if i could get away with doing all the cuts with nothing but an angle grinder or something. Nowhere around with a plasma or water jet table.

    I have done that, my own design and cutting with an angle grinder and i can tell you that its absolute hell. if you can rent a plasma setup and do it yourself with that it will make life so much easier

    Glass on all 4 corners & suspension back to stock. Going for an overland build to replace my JKU.
    Good looking bumper. I'm in search of a front bumper for my 1998. The toughy is, I need clearance to mount my Warn Powerplant. With a bit of work, this could work. Looking to mount the fairlead as low a possible for good pull angle. Cutting up the grill a bit to fit is an option.

    Was it hard to weld up? Like to get all the fitment and angles right?
