Front Bumper Build

So I decided to build a bumper.



I have the early onset of Carpel Tunnel, so its hard for me to sit and weld. I got my buddy to help me with it and this is what we came out with for the initial framing.....Its 1/4 inch steel so its tough XD

Is this the prototype for a battering ram? Gonna build Urban Assault Vehicles on the side?

That's an awesome looking creation, wonder how much it'll weight when finished?

that blue clashes with red, time to paint the truck.
300+ pounds? How does that effect towing & MPG?

Otherwise, it looks Ford Tough.

No effect on MPG so far....I imagine that the diamond plate that gets put on will create a larger windscreen.....And yes its ford tough, hit a tree with it already....the score lies as follows: Ford V10 Bumper:1 Trees:0
