Adding on to the front bumper

[Rick]

I wanted to get some protection for the headlights and also to help keep the weight off the front of the hood if the truck ever rolls over. The finished design will have another horizontal tube raised a few inches above the one that's already there. It will also have some struts to keep it all braced.

That looks great! I like the smoothness and how it matches the lines of the truck.

hey, whats that jeep doin' in there?!

bionic "grill guard" lookin' good, rick

 

[Black Magic]

That color are you going to paint it?

 

[Hartman]

Looks good Rick! Powder coat it black!

Guess after my solid axle, some body work, some paint, wraping my rear bumper around for more protection..... I have to learn to bend and make a front bumper....

Will it ever end?

Looks great Rick!

 

[Rick]

I'll be painting it black. Powder coat doesn't hold up to well for me for some reason With flat black paint it's really easy to make it look "brand new again".

It should be nearly completed by this weekend. At least complete enough for me to pick it up for some New Years wheelin' at Truckhaven

We cut the mustache off Last time at Thaven I kissed a wall with it and it pushed the tube in and scraped the trim around the headlight.

Hrm... If you keep adding parts like that you will end up with an external roll cage to go with your internal cage..

yeah. it will most likely end up that way One step at a time. The rear bumper is do for a redesign and when that is done it will integrate into the rock sliders.

Rick that looks like the Perfect start to an exo-cage.

 

[Crankcase]

That looks great, Rick. Are you adding lights to it after it has been painted?

 

[williecume]
