well ill be making some shortly. all DF memebers get a discount. im gunna try to figure out the exact price but as its looking now there going to be 70 bare steel, 85 powdercoated with either black, red, or blue. i can also get them a custom color for a added price. Skyjacker and BDS sell them for about 150+ a set.

1: Can I use these without a lift? I'm already rubbing my upper control arm a bit (on the left).
2: Time frame ... In a week and a half, I'm going to be out of town (for two weeks) so I won't be able to take any shipments.

RE: started the custom bumper build
I said I've been wanting one for years. GMs and Fords have had them available for a LONG time (oh, and 1st Gen Dodges). Every time I looked ... GM/Ford ... GM/Ford ... GM/Ford ... so I just quit looking. I've only recently seen them released for our 2nd Gens. The price looks way high, though.
Leave it to Tani to make it affordable to the man on a budget ... I'm in.

Tani,
3/4 and 1/2" is way to much. It will be way to heavy and it doesnt matter how thick your steel is on the bumper. The frame will buckle before the bumper will even if it was made out of 1/8" steel.
I built mine out of 1/4" and It was more than enough.
But it will look sweet none the less.
just make sure you get some 2" coil spacers. You'll be squatting in the front

yea bill, i know its alittle overkill but i think it will be fine, if i have to buy spacers i will.
let me correct that. theres only one part thats 3/4 and i welded it to the frame in between the crossmember so the front wont twist. everything else is 1/2, or the winch supports anyway and then everything else is 3/16 plate.
