Welding was the easy part of that build, I can weld but getting all the pieces right woudl be a real challenge. And making the welds look clean after they are holding.

Great job. And Johnny 5 I'm just thinking out loud here I understand your sintament.

I like the angles and how you made it go all the way down and attach to the cross member. I think you should have put Deluxe Sleep System on it though. It looks pretty familiar to the one I just installed except I didn't make mine. If I had those skills I'd try but no such luck.

I like the look, but how thick was the metal you used?
Most of the aftermarket bumpers are 3/16" steel.

I wondered also. That looks like 10-11ga sheet.
