    How easy was the Coastal Offroad bumper to piece together? Something a beginner welder might be able to do you think, or better left to a pro?

    If I can do this without any instructions and an undersized welder, you can do it, too. :D

    (I know, this is a CBI bumper, but as long as the parts are cut to a decent tolerance, there's pretty much only one way the parts fit together.)

    I went with the NWTI. Started with the rear to gain some skills before taking on the front.

    I didn't realize NWTI had a swing out option. Did you add that yourself, or am I dumb and didn't see the option for a swing out?

    I am a beginner welder and had lots of success with it. It wasn’t too hard, it has a good instructional packet and many beginning welders have lots of success making them due to the directions and guidelines.
