Good job. That really turned out nice.

And isn't it fun, when somebody asked where you got your bumper, to tell them you made it?

Thank you everybody!! I do have to say it is not nearly as nice as the others home made ones I have seen! But I'm proud!

Hell ya, there is a Dakota here in Jacksonville that I cross paths with frequently, he chased me down the day he saw my bumper. He thought there was a reputable company who makes them. I felt so proud, saying I built it!!

yea, I've had a couple guys ask me were I bought my bumper and when I tell them I made it myself they want to pay me $500.00 for me to build them one, well $200.00 for metal and $300.00 for labour, couple weeks and welding ain't nearly enough, I tell them $1500.00 and "that's to much" they say so oh well their loss. Gotta get busy and build a back bumper now.
