Show us your custom bumper photos!!

[FROADER]

Here is the updated version of the bumper. No wheeling shots yet.

Burns, did you move everything up and back and cut the grill? Do you have a front shot of it? It already looks better from the side.

Burns, how many more Explorers do you have lol

Front TrailReady Ranger bumper 1/8" plate, 1/4" subframe with additional 3"s of surface area to accomodate the 3" BL. About 300lbs with the winch. This was of course before the addiction totally took control...

Rear is homemade (addiction now taking over), 1/8" plate, 4x4x1/8" box tube for air reservoir (that I don't use).

Tire carrier was removed because I'm going to pull the bumper to rework it a little when it gets warm.

As it is now (the addiction won, I'm forever lost).

any one know where i can get this bumper

 

[jd3z400]

does it have a winch mount?

know but you can pull from it

 

[Burns]

We cut the mounts down on it. They were to long. So the bumper moved back and I cut the winch into the grill.

Ill have to get a better pic of the cut out. I have a little more to do tho. Turns out one of my tubes is 1" or so longer so the right side needs to be trimmed some.

Burns, how many more Explorers do you have lol

that rear bumper looks pretty good. cap the ends of the tubes, and it will look killer!

here ya go, and i know i need to go over my welds and get the gaps/holes....like i said i am learning, and i was in a rush to get it on before my vacation. and it needs a better paint job
i wanted to keep it simple, but i am thinking when i do the swingout i will add some pipe/tubing to the left and right side....maybe. just to fill it out more, but with the swingout carrier on it, it may look just fine

and yes i welded the outside and inside top and bottom of the rockstomper hinge, before i capped off the end

The grill will have to be cut when I add the winch. I will add a skidplate for radiator protection and a 2" receiver under the winch plate. But otherwise its done and on the truck.
1 1/2" tube, 1/4" plate, Bud Built winch plate, painted with flat black rattle cans.

Im just throwing this out there someone may be able to help..

I need either bumper brackets made, or dimensions to make some brackets for a 99 Mounty with a 3 inch BL.

I ran out of time at my dads and am now back at Ft Hood without anything to work with..

 

[jake122288]

[richmc]

That's cool, it looks like your truck is smiling.

 

[91ROKKRAWLER]

i know i'd smile if i seen that in my mirror... lol

 

[kert0307]

Might want to upgrade those d-rings... they look tiny.

 

[Turdle]

Here is mine, It's not bulky at all since I've got a 3" body lift, the frame rails are at the very bottom of the bumper. The winch is on a slider and actually sits in the same cradle as Brian1's with the handles cut off. I am currently building a removeable light bar that will use the same power from the winch and will hold 3 lights on a slide-out when the winch is not in place. It's 3/16" steel reinforced with 2" square tubing in the center section.

My hand me down.

 

[drakeguy22]

Here's mine!

i want a bumper like that so bad!

 

[renegade1]

heres mine. what you guys think?

 

[slaughterrt]

Looks good.
I've been scouring this thread for the past few days. I am going to be fabbing up a bumper for my 99XLT. All these pics have been great helps. I will post when I get mine done, eventually.
