Bumpers

I'm in the process of building off-road front and back bumpers. Any suggestions on designs or what y'all did?

 

This is my rear, more of a prerunner style, not sure if that's what you're looking for

 

All depends just what your end results need to be

This was fast and simple when I got tired off the rusty chrome plastic one

 

you get that off an old gm schoolbus?

 

No just the paint !!

 

i used 4" 3/16" c channel for mine, just cut legs out of the top and bottom, bent them close and welded up the seems. bracketed with 3/16" 1.5"x2" 90*

them just cut a piece of 3/16" plate for the skid. made it for about $100 and it weighs less than 90 lbs for everything

 

please say that you boxed the rear frame rails prior to doing that ?

That looks like a lot of weight, leverage and overhang on the ass of yer donkey.

 

How did you get that tire to lean like that? You have a picture of the mounts you used for it?

 

Just some tube work with dimple died aluminum for the skid.

 

What all did you use for that?

 

Alright. Thanks

 

I didn't have the same arrangement...

So instead used a tripod mounted Fabtech spare tire mount.
I had to drill thru the bed's floor to mount the carrier tho'
I also used backing plate(s) so it cannot pull upwards thru the bed's floor.

Not quickly detached...
but with six bolts removed it comes out easy enough.

I generally pack tools and gear behind and under the spare
to garner as much useable bed as I can.
Works for me.

 

Oh yeah lol, I'm currently doing a giant 64" kit so that leverage will be nice to smooth things out and have some stiff valved shocks

 

I have the aluminum bug. 1/4" plate with 1" recovery points. Holes are for Hi-Lift. Uses stock license plate lights. Same weight as the stock bumper. I don't tow. Built it to complement the Relentless aluminum plate front bumper.
