i used to draw a lot, but i have a huge problem with symetry(sp?) so i just figure if i used cardboard cutouts it would come out better. I change my mind too much to just start cutting and tacking pieces together. if i did that i know i'd never finish the bumper.
i ain't rite

and that is high tech for me Dave.
i just get some steel, slop it on the truck, and start welding.
here is the front "bumper" on the rattletrap that i built after a weekend battle with oak trees.
the little one is one of the NJ chapter members son.

i've loved the hell out of that bumper since the first time you posted it. its nice, clean, simple and fits the lines for the most part(i mean all the 80-96's) it could easily be modified to add a winch, center tow point, d-rings, or any combo of said options. it is like the base option bumper from some off road shop.
that being said, i want to punch you in the face for making it because i want to make a very similar bumper, and now i'll just look like a simple hack. look on the last page, they have those ridiculous amount of angles meeting and intersecting adding all of the little diamond and triangle like "endcaps" and such. i see that often, and it looks like **** to me. too much complication for something so simple.
either way, i'm drunk and you should give me your bumpers, plz????

yes, but i was drunk, and awoke in a sickness. i don't like it and i don't get it. usually i get a good drunk on the second i feel any bit of sick. it usually makes the general sniffles go away quick.

I am glad that you really like the bumper, I am sorry that you want to punch me in the face, and I think you should build one like it anyway, even if you think it makes you look like a simple hack. Also, I am glad to hear you are drunk and I will give you my bumper for free, but shipping is going to cost $4000......
Sincerely,
Nick
