Home made custom steel off road bumpers. Front&Rear update.

4Inch square tube steel. 1x2 recantgle tube for grill bar, 3x1/4 angle for bracing from frame. 2Inch receiver welded in for future grade mounted winch. Rear bumper is tacked up on bench. Will update be for both are sent to powder coated. Using self leveling line laser to layout cut of plastic front bumper to accommodate the steel. Ain't to pretty, but is bomb proof and made at home by 2 union guys with salvaged and scrap steel. Yellow tow points lifting lugs from large steel framed skid.

Rear bumper finished. Grinding and wire wheeling and then ready for powder.

 

^How is the bumper attached to the frame? Just the 6 studs used to mount the factory crash bar?

 

Brough 1/4X2 inch angle down from sides to either side of factor tow points and bolted there as Well.

 

Brought to you by Keystone light and your local junk yard.
Props for doing this yourself, Function>form I guess. But IMO doesn't look right on a 40k truck.

 

It was yengling haha. And I wanted a rough mad max, made while mauraders are banging down your door vibe to it. Parallel parking will be very easy now.

 

Updated

 

The rear looks good, but the front looks a little off. Props for building it yourself.

 

Fronts had more bars added since last photo. Will update again when front is welded out all the way

 

Definitely looks better than stock....

 

@JimSnell i couldn't find a bumper I like... until now

 

Props for initiative and the Mad Max inspiration. Definetly bomb-proof.

 

My Mad Max grill for inspiration

 

Drilled and tapped front for lights, wire wheeled both bumpers and some touch up grinding. Off yo,the powder coater today!

 

To each their own but definitely not for me. Great job for doing it yourself tho!!!

 

Check the photos, back from the powder coater and installed!

 

looks somewhat better painted black.
Are you going to leave that open gap under the tail lights?

 

Have led light pods going in the void. And for only cost of powder coating, and use of free salvaged steel, they look much better than somewhat better. They look awesome. Simple rugged look. Somewhat amazing and bomb proof

 

how long did this build take in total?
