Sweet! That thing looks pretty damn tough. Remember it is deer season so be sure to drive in reverse from now on wherever you go...

I think we need a off-road section or fabrication section. Good job!

I did make a front one last year, but it needs some extra work... I'm gonna make it winch capable. Both the front and the back bumpers are 1/4 inch thick steel channel. If you're gonna make it, why not make it STRONG. And thanks guys!

There is a local welder around here who makes great big iron bumpers that are hollow and have air nipples on them, so you can pressurize them with air and basically roll around with an air talk all the time. He says they are good for filling up 3 normal size tires or one big ole tire. Pretty good idea I think, but I don't have the money to pay him.

Yours is looking pretty sharp all hooked up!
