Bumper build

Beautiful bumper, I am very impressed. Can you send me a set of drawings and your dimensions ? Is this front bumper compatible with the air bag system ? I don't want to have any conflicts with the airbag deployment if I have an accident.

Thank you for you time and efforts, I enjoyed your post.

may i make a suggestion, if you use you reverse camera maybe make a relocation mount on ur bumper? Did on mine and glad i did, tire blocks 80% of the veiwing angle. just my .02 soon to be .05 in canada

 

what type of welder are you using? I have a 220 v stick, but im not sure its up to this. BTW you welds look nice.

 

I don't have any drawings, any measurements are posted in the earlier pages, this bumper should not effect the air bags

Yes, I will have to mount a new camera on the swing out, I don't plan on having it on all the time so I will want the tailgate camera left where it is.

I'm using a Lincoln 180 mig 220V with flux core wire I also have a miller 150 suitcase arc welder, I worked as a welder for a year, that being said, not all my welds look good, your welder will work just fine for a build like this

Ok so this thread will need a new title after today, I debated starting a new thread but I don't see why I shouldn't continue this thread for my fabrication, that being said, here come the sliders

 

definitely interested in this

 

Lookin good! Awesome work!

Makes me wanna get out of my apartment and into a house with a garage even more now...

My lack of work space is making me crazy

 

I hear you man, until about 10 months ago I did all my work in a driveway

 

hey, did you make that high clearance hitch? I dont know if you posted it, but would you have any dimensions. I like the idea of building a bumper off of the hitch and I would want to start with a rear bumper.

 

Hey, I found this thread from you mentioning it in the Edmonton thread; nice work wouldn't mind checking it out in person someday. Glad to see you're starting some sliders. That's where I was gonna start before doing bumpers. Quick question on the bumpers though; 3/16" steel can be a pain to cut considering all the small little pieces that need to be cut in duplicate, what are you doing your cutting with(torch, plasma cutter, bandsaw)? The cutouts on your gas can holder look cleaner than a torch so I was just curious.

Thanks

 

All the cuts were done with zip discs, the cut outs were made by drilling the corners with a hole saw and cutting between with a zip disc, if your in Edmonton send me a PM and drop by the garage anytime

 

Starting to take shape


Before you start hating, I didn't plan on using manufactured bends, the bender at my shop was missing a part for this size so in the interest of a speedy build I opted to go this route. I may replace this when we get a replacement part for the bender

 

Those are sweet! I like the angled look!

 

Passenger side is about 75%

 

Looks good mang

 

hey sorry i didnt make it today, have the inlaws in town, kinda hard to ditch em....

 

how are you making those bends?

 

No worries, I think we spent more time getting unstuck than driving, there was a lot more snow than I expected

Not making, I bought manufactured bends and welded them in, it's not the way I wanted to do it but the bender at work was missing a part I needed

 

i cant wait for my front and rear locker, ill just push through it
