Sorry for the long hiatus. I got the fun privilege of spending a year in the middle east(Spring break '14 anyone?!)

The good news is however, that when I got back, the first thing i did was finish this damn bumper!
Original thread:https://dodgeforum.com/forum/2nd-gen...per-build.html
So without any ado whatsoever I present to you, the finished project!




Winch is a 10K X2O by Smittybilt. We ended up using an epoxy based primer and then sprayed it ourselves. replaced Factory Fogs with the 4 in from Baja offroad. The Center bars are mandrel bent, the headlight covers are actually a straight pipe that was cut, bent and rewelded for a near perfect bend with a smaller radius than we could do with our bender.

Here is a link for complete pics of the build.

also several people were asking for dimensions for the bumper. the main body is 12" C-channel 48" wide. The sides shrink down to 8". the lip below goes from 4" in the center to 2" on the sides. front corners are 18" long.

Let me know what you all think of the finished Project!

 

I like it! Looks good

 

Nice job. I like it being the same color as the truck.

 

Very nicely done! Looks just right and not overbig.

 

Looks real good! I really would like to make a Road Armor type bumper for mine cause i like the look. And for deer reasons.

 

I had wondered about that bumper after a while. Glad to see that you finished it and that it looks so nice.

 

Those fog lights look a little shrouded on the inside. Does that create any odd light patterns and forward facing blind spots at night?

 

Glad you made it back in one piece. Thank You for your service.

Great job on the bumper.

What kind of bender do you have?

 

A salute to you for your service and welcome back!!

Very nice job on the bumper...looks very serviceable.

 

Bumper looks great. It should outlast the truck! Winch install looks neat as well.
