Default makin my own steps

hey guys, well since i really love the NFAB steps, and im not payin that much money for them, when i have some extra money i am gonna make my own, and i also wanna make my own pushbar/grill guard bumper, i love the road armor ones, but no way will i pay that much for it...im thinkin some heavy *** duty stuff so when i offroad i dont have to worry about anything. im a good welder, and i have all the tools at work besides benders and stuff, ill just have to cut w/torch and weld together, then when its all done and cleaned up ill roll on some more bedliner like my rockers and bed, and itll match and be nice as hell. im thinkin of makin a rear bumper with 2 3" steel tubes (unless i can find solid steel) and stuff...ill have to think of a design and see how much itll cost, any idea let me know people
