2X.. If the traffic around your neck of the woods is like it is around Phoenix, I'd suggest welding one up that resembles a "cow catcher". Man, we got a bunch of out of state numb-nuts.

 

No, But I herd about it and Im going to watch it when I get the chance. I'm shooting for similar to the rear, Dont know yet if I wanna taper the top outside edges more or not yet.

I cant brag on our utah drivers skills, Pretty sure everyone is out of blinker fluid. And we get the highest gas millage here in this great state as there is no air gap from one car to the next much less a couple car lengths lol I cant imagine it being worse then most places witch really makes me cringe for them...

 

Doing dimples puckered up does wonders for traction if you happen to be working on something under the hood. I did this to 10 gauge without any trouble.

 

Your bumper looks great man, I like it. One day Im gonna order a full set of dimple dies, I love them I'm pretty sure ide have them down the side of everything lol I wish I could have done some on the front and the rear, But I built everything out of 1/4" lol couple reason, the rear is also the tow package and two... MERICA LOL

 

1ST I , then I thought Salute!
Are you going to put a winch on the front of your Bad Boy?

 

Looks like you have been keeping your priorities straight! I'm really diggin' the start of your bumper, will you taper the ends of the bumper up or leave the bottom flat? Some home built bumpers end up looking like DOT push bumpers ..... Merica'!

 

I was laughing as I typing that... Yes and No.... I have a warm 12000lber that I built a carrier with a hitch receiver on it..... that way it works for everything. yoda front and rear and the crew front and rear. and any others that come along. I cant see buying more then one or two winches when I can make one universal to work for them all.

YA buddy, If someone pulls out in front of me I want them to feel it The bottom will taper up just like the rear. trying to keep much of the same angles. The top plate on the rear tapers more narrow twards the outside and thats what I Not sure of yet. I like the way the rear looks but I had to taper the entire thing with the front to stay with the body line so its already got more then the rear does without tapering narrower. I hope that makes sense. Ill have to post some pictures as well. I want nice stout bumpers but dont wanna get big and goddy if thats the right word to use.....

 

see there the top edge near the tail light is about 2" where the middle below the tailgate handle (witch swings) is 6" well with the front bumper the entire 6" is out on the end, do to having to taper the entire piece to fit the front end....

 

Nice touch


And nice pic. But you forgot one. I quote myself.








You gonna paint them with some radar absorbing paint?

That bumper will make'em wish they didn't follow so close next time! I love it!!

 

haha Well ya of course, I think It should be undetectable for sure.
Not sure if this is a saying but if it isnt it should be...

Not worth doing if you cant overdo it... lol Sounds good to me.

Thanks boys.

 

 

Lookin' Good so far Zac. You gonna incorporate some LED fog lights in the center section?
