Tube bumper ideas

Hey TW I'm looking at building some tube bumpers. I'm going to be building front and rear bumpers. I'm looking for some ideas and was wondering what some of you guys have done.

 

I have all pro front and rear bumpers, pretty solid design and i like the look of you want to use those as inspiration lol

 

I have a Badland Bumpers Baja front bumper, pretty stout unit...

I don’t know if you have Instagram or not but Alec Overton has a very simple high clearance back bumper that looks really clean. Probably pretty close to my #1. I’ll go find a picture.

 

All Pro bumper as well.

 

You ever regret not getting the filler plate option lol

 

I didnt know there was one. But ive been super happy with it. Whats the filler plate do, just block off access from mud and stuff getting in the radiator?

 

Fills in the little triangle gaps where you seem to put lights lol @Matic

 

Gotcha. Naw.
Those are converted factory turn signals.

Didn’t want to run them into the corner lights? Thats what I ended up doing.

 

Probably should have. That's a sweet mod and may end up doing it later.

Sorry for the hijack OP.
Lots of tube bumpers out there to copy.

 

Yeah sorry op, but you got tons of option, maybe even surf the first gen parts sale thread and see if you can find any guys selling tube bumpers, i seen a few custom ones on there you can use as inspiration.

 

Guess I better put my first bumper on first, trail gear low profile with hoops.

I’m sure you could make it look better.

 

Just go watch mad max and get some ideas lol, im sure you will come up with something crazy

 

Other than the overzealous flare of the headlight hoops, why did you get rid of that bumper? I think it was like a two or three inch cut on wither side from looking great.

 

Needed some money and that was expendable

 

Yup, thats where I got the inspiration for the swing out tail gate.
