Cheapest tube bumper

They call that a custom bumper baby!

 

Hot metal fab makes a diy tube bumper with filler

I almost bought one of these - the guy I spoke with was pretty cool to deal with!

 

I guess the good thing about a wood bumper is no rust, just have to worry about termites.

 

Yeah, Jeff and Cody are good guys, very eccentric but solid dudes. They were right down the street from me which was cool too.

 

That with a winch mount would be the exact thing I'm looking for.

 

I wished I had pictures of my first bumper in welding class in high school lol. Grandpa had some old pipe he was using for fence poles to keep his breeding bull in his pen. Gave me what had been sitting and rusting for a few years so price was right. Wow that sucker was heavy and the welds were so bad it took me hours of grinding lol. It was cheap though! Seriously though, I found here in the Portland and Vancouver area that if you talk to local welding or fab shops you will find some that can use scrap they have and a simple design can make something for you.

 

I'm near Chattanooga TN...Anyone know of a good fab shop?

 

How much did the bumper for the 1st gen run you?
