Bumper issues
I cant decide if i want to make my own front bumper or if i want to buy one, to buy one with the molding from ford is $311 but i could probably make alot stronger on for close to if not alittle more than that and have it look cool. I guess i just want some imput from you guys

I'm not the biggest fan of custom front bumpers unless its a trail ride.
I love the stock bumpers on our truck.
Usually you can re-use your molding, but it all depends.
Did you contact clay to see what he could do you for a bumper?
Check with bronco grave yard as well.
Our bumpers are a bit different, so harder to find.
Also avail on the Eddie Bower edition.

I say make one but that's just me. I need to weld the plate on mine. But it isn't much larger then the stock one. And I will when if I get brake checked. I have maybe 40 dollars in mine. Made the frame at school with there welders and torches. Metal plate was free at work because it was in the way and someone had a winch plow on this at one time. So there is a nice support piece across the front of the frame to come of. Ill post up some pics later.

Broncograveyard is really the way to go for what your looking for. Price is going to be better than LMC as well.
Make sure you call them for a bumper. Bit easier with clay for odd things. He doesn't list everything on the site.
Neither does bronco graveyard.

ill call clay on monday and get his price then call bronco graveyard, i will probably go to clay to help support a fellow member. Realized i cant make a custom bumper at school due to policy and i dont have time outside of school to make one so i have to buy one.
