Default Tube Bumper Build

Well its built. Made it from 1/4" plate and 1 7/8" .120 tubing. Stay tuned for a rear set up.

Yeah I thought I had seen this somewhere before. It looks good. I would get one if I had money.

The plan for the rear is to tie in the receiver and raise everything a few inches. Then make a swing out tire mount .

Looks pretty good, did you fabricate it yourself? Is it DOM tubing? It's a nice clean build.

Built it myself. Tubing is HREW not DOM. Here are a few pics of my work.
