4 x 6 x 1/4" wall tube made into a bumper. Weighs about 300lbs. Just waiting for a Honda Civic.



The latest is the modifications to my roll bar. High lift mount, spare tire and jerry can mounts.

I figure pics get more love than links to pics - so here's a few off my projects...

Supercab:
Custom front fenders (fiberglass) - standard cab isn't my truck.



Aluminum body mounts - they lower the body a bit


Temporary seat mount for race seats - til the cage is done


Mirror brackets




Crew cab:
Seat brackets



Hydroboost bracket



Shock mounts




Core supprt (not done)




Shackles for front




Front leaf hanger





Motor mounts

Chase - I have looked over your work in the past and NEVER get tired of looking at it time after time. Your fab skills and attention to detail are what sets your work apart.

I really like the front spring hanger.

Keep up the good work man.

I absolutely love this bumper. It's simple and not bulky like most, but I didn't think it was that heavy. I was going to fab one up for my truck like it, but damn that's heavy.

I like that one too. Nice and simple.

I agree, I never would have guessed it weighed that much.

wow, one of my old trucks(78 f250 4x4 supercab) has a custom rear and front bumper. The rear looks like a regular diamond plate bumper, but it is made some of the thickest steel I've seen, it has four trailer ball holes, in accordance to size of the ball. the front bumper weighs close to 300 or so lbs, it has a custom brush guard on it, winch plate, and the my dad mounted it, he had to add some metal to the frame horns sticking out so the mounts would be big enough for it, when I get my camera working, I'll take some pics.

Yeah. I had to instal it by myself one time. What a mistake. I dropped it twice and it laughed at me. I finally got one end on a saw horse and then the other on another horse and slid it in. Part of the weight is the mounts are 2 inch receiver tubing, plus the receiver itself. Those two shackle hangers aren't light either. They are actually in a hole in the bumper and welded in. I will never move that sucker on my own again. It's was kinda like dancing with a fat chick with an equilibrium problem.

I'll go out and take one in a little while. It didnt turn out quite how I wanted it, but its not half bad. Might remake it out of metal eventually.
