    IBTL!

    OP is bad at taking criticism!
    I didn't wanna say anything because you were getting butt hurt already, but that thing is ugly! and I do not believe you spent $450 on material and rods, I made mine for under $100.

    Neg rep offset x2 coming your way!

    ok whatever floats your boats i spent 253.65 on metal 4x6 sheet cold roll 30$ for rod 7018 gas for welder and then linex for about 200 then there is my time in it humm im pretty sure its over 450$ ill give you the number for colorado iron and metal if you would like to confirm the prices your self? Im not bad at takeing critasium im just sick of hearing the same thing over and over. There is nothing i can do to make you dicks happy so idc the bumper is made and sprayed by line x im not gona go grind off the line x to put in more suports unless a real buyer is intressed in it and thats what he/she wants then i will but im not gona wast my time on here fighting with a few ass holes that think they know all and can do all, i would love to see either of you try to build a better one with limited tools and funds so untill then quit being ass holes and go clog up some one else thread with ur negativity thanks!

    I built mine with a $40 grinder, an a lincoln ac 180 from like the 70's, while only using the old 7018 welding rod I had at the time and I did just fine, it's not the tools being used, it's the tool using them.

    not only that, the first few comments you reacted to were just that, comments... nothing to get so upset over.

    you said yourself you're building another bumper, take the comments and use them to make your next bumper a nice piece of work.

    For the price this bumper is a steal and a good project for someone to make some minor modifications to add strength.

    And for this being the first bumper Nick has built at 19 say's a lot about his skills. I would very be interested to see any of his future projects.

    As a side note everybody is always debating bumper strength (Relentless vs. All-Pro vs. ATO etc) IMO were these bumpers mount to the truck is the real weak point. Go ahead and take a look at the flimsy tabs everybody is hanging these bumpers from.

    Hey dude, he never said it was stronger than yours, he just said that it can be done for cheaper. Can you fucking read? Gtfo and don't treat fellow members like shit.

    given how crazy this thread has gotten, you may want to also list this for sale on the other boards like customtacos, TTORA, and/or yotatech...

    being the internet, you will always get judged, whether asked for or not, warranted or not, so if you REALLY want to make the sale, grow thick skin, and just ignore the criticisms... avoid the drama... use humility to your advantage...

    it's all about TACT...

    bottom line, your bumper will or will not sell... if it does, more power to you...

    if it doesn't sell, take it to a scrap yard for recycling...
