Bumper mountings
#2
I made a double round tube bumper for the front of my 81 Bronco. On the back side of the tube I welded 4 inch channel approximately 6 inches long straight back so I could bolt it to either side of the frame rails. I can take pics of the bumper tomorrow if you want to see how I did it. Its been sturdy so far. I've been snatched a few times by it with no breakage yet. Theres a pic of the front of my Bronco here-

The blue is a stock color for 70's model Maverick- Grabber blue. One thing I did when I made the bumper- I cut a pie shaped wedge out of the back of the tube near where the front sheet metal bends so i could bend the tube to match the body lines. I then welded it back together and ground the welds.
