    So From what I've seen on various websites, the selection of front bumpers gets kind of similar... that being said anyone know of any members or shops near Socal/Arizona areas that would make a sort of simple tube style bumper?

    I've tried asking several people, but they didn't really bite. So any suggestions would be awesome!!

    any desert racing oriented shop in socal or arizona can build ya a tube bumper no problem. Shop prices might blow the budget for a tube bumper

    Could also find a garage fabber to knock it out for ya. shouldnt take too long if they are proficient with a bender. We(my friend and i) knocked out a full tube bumper on my old ranger in about 8hrs and he was just getting the hang of the bender

    The thing about building a Custom bumper !!

    I can only speak for myself unless the OP can take measurements and draw up just what they want !!!

    That way the bumper is made if it does not fit!!

    After being built to the prints it is on the customer.

    This is why most shops may decline .

    The cost will be time and materials (shop rate/hr plus any needed material) very easy to get twice the cost of a off the shelf bumper

    Don`t trust your measuring the truck might be tied up a few days then it might be a few weeks to it can be scheduled good shops are always busy

    I built my front bumper with a buddy. It has survived some heavy duty use. Very happy with it
