2nd Gen Front Bumper Center Section .DXFs - Free Use

Been wanting a hybrid style bumper for my 2nd gen for awhile. At first I ordered the center section from SOS, you can probably guess how that worked out. Luckily I got my money back. Finally got this finished up of about 2 months of half assed working on it. I figure I would save someone else the headache if they start down this route. This center section could be added onto to make a normal steel bumper or a hybrid like I did.

Doesnt take a huge amount of brain power to tack up. Star with the mount then the 2 vertical braces. Then add the winch mount. Test fit the front plate but I would take it back off and go ahead and weld the underside of the winch plate and any bracing you may want to add to it. Wont be able to access it once the fronts on there.

The front plate can be pressed braked starting from the top at 75 , 27 , 22 degrees respectively, or you could split the part up into 4 pcs and weld it all together if you dont have access to a brake.

I used mostly 3/16" plate on everything other than the winch mount and 11ga on the cosmetic pcs (not pictured). They hide the small sections right below the headlights pretty well. You can almost make most the bumper fit on a half a sheet of plate thats 48 x 52ish. I used 1 - 5/8 HREW tubing instead of DOM just to save some cost, 1.25 (1.63OD) or 1.5 (1.9 OD) pipe would be pretty close in size also.

I used this

lightbar. The brand held up really well on my SXS for 2 years so figured I would give them a shot here too. It has about 1" of play on either side of the braces so I mounted it to them from the outside with longer screws and spacers.

If you use these please post up pictures as I would love to see more.

 

Looks great, you should make some. I'd buy

 

This is my first big welding project I've done with mig so I wouldn't really be comfortable selling these. I also had to drive about a hour just to get the tubing bent since our shop still doesnt have a bender that will go this small. If work got slow I would for sure run it by the guys.

 

Well you pulled it off nicely! If you were closer I would beg and hound you for one anyway. Being 1000 miles away gets you off the hook

Great job!

 

Nice work, following

 

Mind shooting these to me in an email? I can’t get the link to work for some reason

 

Still waiting on fedex to admit they lost my harbor freight hook but its done. The one issue I overlooked on install was winch height clearance. Seems like alot of people have to cut some in the center anway. My control box could be mounted seperate so I just made some brackets and moved it off to one side. Could move the plate down some when you build the bumper but it would make the fairlead bind a bit more.

 

Has anyone used the files? If so how did it work?

 

Is the installation the same as the c4 bumper? In terms of what you have to cut where it mounts etc.

 

This one isn't as low profile as the C4. It didn't require any cutting unless your winch mounts the control box on the center top

 

Dude that’s sweet! I can’t get the file to work either. Take any pics of the bumper unmounted? I’m definitely gonna fab up my own bumper too and definitely looking for reference pics and such

 

3D model for you guys that were having trouble with the dxf. They are just used for cutting but this should give you a idea of dimensions and all.
