Anyone here make their own front/rear bumper(s) and/or headache rack?

Got some spare time at work coming up and lots of scrap around... thought I might piece something together and would check here for ideas/tips.

Thanks!

Yea i made mine, its not all the way finished but it is on the truck.
this is a pic half way through
ill post others when the rain stops

 

Now that looks tough! How did you end up mounting it? What else do you want to do to finish it?
Thanks!

 

that looks sweet . Was thinking of making one myself.

 

Well heres what it looks like sofar..
Eventually I want to wrap some tubing
up and around to protect the grill & Headlights..
Like the Road Armor bumpers..

 

Looks awesome! Nicely done... very clean design.
What thickness steel did you use? What did you use for paint?
Making one for the rear also?
Thanks for the pics!

 

Nice job Chris1530 you followed the truck lines perfect Bro, most that you see a "Clunky" those are Sweet

 

Yeah I tried to follow the lines pretty close..
Paint is just a spray on rubberized undercoat(till its all done then Rhino)
Of course I will be making one for the rear sometime..

Front Center is 1/4" the Rest is 3/16"
Because i do plan on adding a winch, and heavy duty hooks

I do have HEMI Cut out in the Lower center, that you cant really see
in the Pics.. Im gunna put a piece on alum behind it so it stands out..

 

chris, cut yourself some holes in that bad *** bumper and get some PIAA fogs!!

 

Yep I plan on it just havent got around to it
