Custom Bumper

Anyone have connections to get a complete custom bumper built?

 

Yes, but you might have better luck in your search if you post your location or where exactly you're looking for this bumper to be built.

 

I've tried that approach, but it's as they don't take me seriously

 

Well you're new here so that might be why. Were are you located and what kind of bumper you looking to get built?

 

The bumper I want is built for a Ford F-250, and I just fell in love with how its built, also in my opinion all the Tacoma bumpers are pretty much the same, and none really say "aggressive"

 

So you want a bumper for your F-150 or you want a bumper built for your Tacoma styled after one you saw on an F-150? Location?

 

I want to modify the design of the F-250 bumper, that way it could work on my Tacoma, and I live in Texas

 

@Texoma ? I hear you're the guy that would know.


Other than that, OP try posting a specific question in one of the many regional threads for TX. It usually helps if you give a clear description for what you're looking for. Much like I had to ask you a few follow up questions to figure out what you were looking for, most members really see that as a lack of effort on your part to help yourself. A clear well though out question posted will rarely get ignored or dismissed and you'll be more likely to get your info that way.

 

Ok so if you want a complete bumper then you are going to need to contact a fabricator. There are plenty on here, and if your looking for someone that can get you a discount or something then you are out of luck. Your best bet is to get the cheap bumper off ebay, or look for used ones.

 

Where in Texas?

Ah, so in the DFW area. Motha fuckin Gas Monkey Garage. Joking, they'd probably over charge the shit out of you. I remember there was a member or two on this forum in the DFW area that welded, not sure if they had fab skills or not. Try posting that you need a bumper gabbed up in the DFW thread and the Texas BS thread. Make sure you are specific with your location else no one will be able to help you. Also, you can google "metal fab near me" or some other similar variation of that, and you'll come across something. Good luck, and show some pics of what you're talking about as well, it's helpful.

 

OP, do you want something like this?

I would take a photo of one, or go to a junk yard and pick one up to take to a fabricator and see if they can either modify the junk yard one to fit or fab a replica.

 

Hello from Plano!

 

Find some good pictures of said bumper and ask some of the fabricators here if the design could even be modified to work with your truck. A bumper for an F250 is going to be too heavy and way too wide to just modify the frame mounts so it would have to be built from scratch. There are plenty of fabrication shops in North Texas capable of doing that but that's $$$$$. What's your budget?

 

Really my budget is at most $4,000

 

I think about half that will most likely do it.

 

This may be a good thread for you to look through for all the different varieties of bumpers out there for our trucks

You may even call some of these guys up and see if they can do a custom bumper to your liking. They already know the body lines and where the bumpers mount, all that's left is the CAD design. Worth a shot at least.

 

Try reaching out to a local off road shop like Allout Off-road or Baertrax, they should be able to do some custom fab work within your budget or refer you to someone who could
