Custom Bumper Builds?

Looking for custom bumper builds that anyone has done, front and/or rear. Iv done some searching and havnt really found anything yet. Iv seen all the bought bumpers but have always been interested in building my own. Iv seen some crazy good looking bumper builds on other forums and dont understand why theres not more on this forum. Maybe im just missing them?

I have started to design my own for the front and rear. Still tweaking the design and looks. Then come's getting the wife on board with the actual build of it.

I think you saw mine in the other thread already, but what the hell, I'll post it here too:




Both the tire and ladder swings away, the little notch at the ladder base is a custom fit gas tank holder.


Having a ladder is pretty key I you want to do any work up top, a roof rack is pretty much useless on a lifted excursion without a decent way to get heavy stuff up and down.

screw just the roof rack, I want that whole setup!

But maybe replace the diamond plate with smooth metal.

Custom Bumper Builds?

Yea Gorkahs setup is pretty close to what I want and that other build thread is what I'm looking for to do mine. USCGPAs front end is nice. I also just like seeing the custom builds people do. Sometimes they turn out way better then if they bought it.
