Just got done building me a set of bumpers. Used 6 inch channel. 1/4" thick. These things are stout.









Ordered the D-Ring mounts from Cutthroat4x4 Awesome people. Killer product.



They took the time to key the tabs through the 1/2" plates & weld them from the back side as well.

 

Looks good. Love to see custom fab'd stuff.

 

I like it! What was the total cost?

 

Agreed, custom fab stuff is great, nice work!

Ya, I'd like to know too what this ran you cost wise....if you don't mind me asking.

 

Thanks Jonny!

Thanks Sir!

Appreciate that. The only steel I had to buy at the scrap yard was the 6" channel. So 40 bucks for the front & rear.

Her is a close up of the end. I cut up a huge allen wrench & welded it to the bottom. I spaced them so my Hi-Lift Jack would sit in there & not slide off.



These are 1/4" plates I cut out for the push bar mounting plates. I had them on hand.



This is a pic of the winch mount plate that I got when I bought my winch from a neighbor. He sold me his brand new Smittybuilt winch, with 100ft syn line, 2 winch plated, hause fairlead & a cover for 300 bucks.

His Jeep was a TJ & the mount bolted to the top of his frame. I actually could have used his plate in the same manner but wanted my winch to sit much lower. So I cut it up & dropped it 6 inches.




Here it is bolted to the 2.5" channel on the bumper.



So All in all for both bumpers

Steel=40 bucks

Winch=300

Dring mounts, all 4=160 wasn't going to go cheap here. I bought the best I could find

Grade 8 hardware=20

Paint & primer=15

535 bucks for both bumpers & a winch!! Not bad!

Thanks for the kind words Guys!

 

What did you use to attach the rear bumper to the frame?

 

I welded three inch channel to the bumper. Two 1/2" grade 8 bolts went through the channel on both sides of the frame.
Two of the D-Ring mounting bolts went all the way through the frame. Also, two 1/2" bolts went from the rear of the hitch to exsisting holes in the frame.
If you need pics let me know.

Here's a pic of the three inch channel bolted in place, prior to welding it to the bumper.



After they were welded on.

 

really like the clean look of these...subscribed and on list

 

Thanks. I really wasn't happy with the hitch so I spent AN HOUR cutting & grinding it off. Then I cut a 2.5x2.5" hole in the face of the bumper & welded a piece of hitch tubing in. Welded front & rear. Very very strong. Then I built a slimmer slider.



Here's the slimmer slider:




Thanks for the kind words Sir.

 

The question is... When do you start taking orders?!? These bumpers are awesome!!!
