need pics of custom front bumpers for first gen

thanx for the compliments man...what parts are you referring to for prices? I've probly invested over 5k so far, with much more to come this next summer and winter break when I can make some serious $$$.

I'll do my best to snap some pics...tonight hopefully, if I remeber to bring the digi cam home from work:)

I was just talking bout the parts you used to build the bumper/skid plate. I wanted to add something like that after I finish my SAS and Spring over in the rear, i thought it'd be a nice finishing touch. So I was wondering about how much all that ran you and was hoping i could get some more pictures of it.
 






Well I bought 75' of tubing for some reason, and that was like ~$70. We only ended up using about 15' for the bumper, so I guess like $20 of tubing. The metal for the skidplate costed me ~$15. Soooo, about $35 total. The dude that basically did all of it had a $500+ bender though, so I guess you can factor that in too:D
 






here's underneath, hopefully this is a good enuf pic. The tabs are for the skidplate.

Its a bit different now, with a skidplate with holes drilled in it, 2 PIAA Pro580XTs, and side reinforcement for highlifting...

Thanks a lot, that helped me out a lot more, and i hope you don't mind but i think i'm gonna do a little copying of this whole set up, except i might use two thicker tube bars to run across the front but use the same set up for everything else, it looks awesome man i just think i might add a little of my own style so i won't be a complete loser by copying you. I visited your site by the way and thats some good stuff ya'll have...I might go out west this spring it'd be nice to meet up for a weekend trail ride or something. i hear nothing but good stuff from out west.
 






I don't mind at all dude, sounds like you got some good plans in your head for how it'll all go together. Yah come on out one of these days and we'll go hit the trails!:D
