I made up a ROUGH rendering in MS Paint of a front bumper I want built. In the morning im going to go to a welding shop see if they cant get some measurements and a price. I want it to fit the body real tight, you know like a Road Armor bumper. let me know what you think!

The one I'm designing is sorta like that ... but different w/grille protector bar
 






yea a shop down here told me they would weld it up for like $450.00 thats like 2,000 cheaper than Road Armor bumpers
 






Built mine for 80ish.
 












Check my thread. Its the one that says Opinions on my rendering or something another
 






oh ok yea I saw it before looks real good!
 






Here's my rendering so far in G.Sketchup

I couldn't figure how to bend the bars... so I just used straight bars..just for now..
 






Yea that thing looks just like a road armor bumper.
 






Axial32, I really like the look of that bumper! Show pics as you build it if you are going to do it. Hummm........Now you have me really wanting to make one. :)
 






thats a sick design would you be mad if i based one on it?
 






Make one.. I love it.. It's still not finished.. I haven't gota winch or fogs in it yet.. it'll get finished later on.

if anyone needs measurements or extra photos, just let me know
 






I would love it if you posted measurements. Maybe even a how to might earn you Eliet status for a month free.

I am in the beginning of my bumpers/safari build. I can weld pretty well. But I have a friend that IS a welder, but very does little for vehicles. He as offered to help/lend my his shop. But he has equipment that I have never seen before, much less used. So he needs pictures and numbers.

Anyway, I love your bumper. Pretty close to what I envisioned for me. Mine is a first gen. I going to use a front receiver, so I will notch out the middle there and incorporate head light protectors too.

Did you happen to weigh it before you installed it? Just curious.
 






Well.. I'll look and see if I still have the renderings.. I made them on google sketchup.. so idk. A how to.. is basic cut and weld.. I had to modify some of the measurements that sketchup gave me anyways...
