so im in the process of designing my front and rear bumpers and was just curious as to what thickness of sheet metal would be most benificial without adding to much weight..?im planning on it being about 5-6" shorter than stock on the front and pretty much keeping the rear the same length as stock. thanks for the input

 

At least 3/16 steel plate

 

Thanks! kinda what i was leaning toward.

 

I really want to see this re-created as a custom style..

It's a Fab Fours front bumper. I want to make one, but can't weld :(

 

Thats an awsome bumper! I may see what I can do I'll have to do some recreating for a rear also to match em out maybe even rock rails... you sould get a welder and just play around with it thats the way I taught myself back in high school with a cracker box (lincon stick welder about $200).. just an idea
