Talking custom stainless steel bumper installed

I finally got around to installing the all stainless steel bumper that my dad built for me. My original goal was to use it as an additional air tank, but it just wasn't strong enough. It still looks good though. let me know what you think

i could polish it but i dont think it would come out as bright as chrome since it's i think 305 stainless and not 410 stainless or somewhere close to those numbers. the 410 would polish better though. i told him that he should take orders, but shipping sure would be a lot to arizona! i think the bumper weighs about 70 pounds for now, i may try to strengthen it with another layer of stainless to make the air tank aspect work. but that's to be determined.

hey 96P_Stroke4x4 id still like to get a t-pipe made from ur dad out of that stainless steel tubing though, i know id pay for the shipping and the cost to build it and even pay the extra price for it to be the 410 stainless too, but the thing is the tubing only needs to be 3 foot for mine hehehe, got my own idea of running the stacks might looked wierd but that way i dont have to remove any of my LED lights too, have a great time with that bumper thou, sure looks great on there, take care and god bless from texas Lance
