Love the bumper Tom!

I second that. I also like the skid plate too.

That bumper looks really good. Super clean and aggressive

Well the skid plate is an item you can easily get on yours too. Contact me for the info.

I've seen the thread but an SAS is in the works - slowly getting the parts so I'm done putting money into the IFS. Otherwise I would!

I figure I'll post an updated shot of the front bumper (old pic got lost) and some shots of the phase 1 of the rear bumper (before tire carrier).

The front bumper is the weaker of the 2. The front is made from 1/8 wall steel and the mount is a piece of 1/8 plate on each side of the frame. I've lifted it using a high lift and hit it a bunch of times wheeling. Still holding strong.

I did pull the tow hooks that were bolted onto the bumper (with the mount bolts) and made 1" thick d-ring shackle mounts.

The rear bumper is 3/16 wall tubing and the mount is 3/16" thick plate but it is only on 1 side of the frame (its not boxed). The shackle mounts are 7/8" thick and are welded to the 3/16" bumper/frame mount.

All of the tubing is 2x3" square tubing...

I made this style since "my thinking" is if I can get a tire on it, I can climb it. I don't want the bumper to stop my tire from getting to an obstacle.

I really like this bumper. I'm looking for a different one for my 04. Do you by any chance have the plans for this?

I was looking at making my own bumper and had one in mind based off of this thread. I was just curious as to who made this bumper.

Needs more dirt.

Looks sweet !!! Gotta cut that tailpipe down now before it gets crushed. Wish i still lived out there so I could go trailin' on real mountains.
