Check out black91EB. He made a really sweet front bumper out of a square steel tube. It looks very professional.

Jon, your right, I'm kinda mileage out for a while tho!!!

MrQ, Thanks for the link, that is one sweet custom bumper! Now that give me some ideas, a heap of a lot sweeter than I was building in my head.

Got it Gregg n thanx, the pony express is using a three legged horse tonight, tried 3x and each time the connection got lost.

Well, got the front bumber and mounting brackets ordered, for now just going with a stock bumber, will customize at a later date. Got to those pics Gamn, wow! A lot of kool ideas out there.

*gmanpaint* · 11-18-2009, 05:01 PM

Did you order a new "Bumber"? If you got a used one, the brackets would be on it already.

I am taking mine off & throwing in the bottom of a lake this weekend!

I got a brush guard to install, and I am getting some materials to build a front "Bumber" with the help of a friend

Gregg

Still laughing about that anyhow Gman,
Got notified from Rockauto that my front end thing-of-ma-gig and brackets have shipped, also recieved the title for the explorer today, so the transfer is complete

Ok, finally got photobucket account set up, the front end metal protective item is due to arrive tomorrow. (don't know if FedEx makes rounds on a Saturday, but will find out). As long as the pony express use healthy horses I should be able to post pics from home base.

Well, FedEx does work on Saturday, after the driver called me for directions I met him at the gate by the road, but it was just an hour or so before dusk, so I just unboxed it and put the front end widget on today after the football game, took the grill off and straightened the bent bracket out the best I could, the paint on the cap does not always match, looked more like ATF. Don't know how old the bottle of paint was either.
