Default My Homeade Bumper

It took me about 4 hours to fab up, I still have some grinding and painting to do. Don't mind the truck, tires and a lift are within the next week. I also need to mount the winch in the bumper and D-rings. Cost me $65 in material, let me know what you think.

jeez, you're gonna need a 2 in coil spacer to compensate for all that weight.

Good looking so far.

nice tacking and fab work !

how heavy will it be?

any chance you could find some modest priced aluminum plate ?

depending on what area of the country you live in
you can sometimes find wrecked aluminum trailers
to get cheap AL plate for fab'ing up projects
