where can i get a prerunner bumper for a 1998 f250 light duty. ive seen the bolt on procomp and fabtech and n-fab. are there any more?
or a complete front replacement prerunner looking bumper....

 

built your own dude. that way you can make it look exactly the way you want it. thats what i would do, but i hate the prerunner look really.

Procomp and Fabtech were the only two I was familiar with but the prices are crazy for as simple as these bumpers are (in my opinion). I hear good things about the Fabtech bumper but Idio is right, you can build your own for a fraction of the price if you have the tools.

 

Wish i had a bender........anyone know of a good place to find 1 ?

 

look in places like harbor freight and northern tool. you'll spend over $600 on cheap one though.

 

do yall know where i could get some plans on making one.

 

Just look in some four wheel magazines.. you'll see some good designs..

 

You can also slum around barn sales or estate sales. I picked mine up for $25.

 

your bumper, or your bender?

I saw some cheap manual hydralic ones for $160 on harborfreight, but I don't know if they do DOM tubing or not.?

 

The bender...I'm hung over...was thinking he was wanting the plans for the bender

I'm sure somebody has plans you can buy. For as simple as they are though you could pick up about any 4wheel mag and copy it.

 

Can you do DOM with it, or stuff just like exhaust pipes?

 

Dom. Takes muscle though.

 

Would this bender actually work for making simple stuff like rock sliders and bumpers?

That depends on what tubing you use. That is a pipe bender....not the same thing.
This will bend tubing:

You can get the 2" bender from northerntools.com for <$90. I have one and it has come in handy. Though I wish I had gone and bought the 3" one for the bigger dies when I am doing exhaust systems.

I have bent things from as big as the pole that goes through those giant telephone cable rails to as small as exhaust pipe. Though I would not recommend it for 90 degree bends in tubing or pipe. Making 45s are okay though.

Would be perfect for a front bar with some steel pipe bought at Home Depot, which usually has a 1/8 plus wall in the 2" (ID).
