grill guards, bull bars, and other nasty bumpers
 

well i noticed some pretty fancy bumpers on some of these trucks and i am also trying to plan out a totally custom bumper that uses the stock bumper+a lightbar+a winch+a skid plate...ya its gonna be fun anyways i kinda want to see what else is out there so if you have an aftermarket bumper u should definately post it here just cuz that would be cool :-bigparty

I know its from a Chevrolet, but I love those ARB cow plows, haha.

haha nice ARB man my dad had one not to long ago before he totaled his cummins, but how dare you bring a chevy into this sacred ford grounds =P

i would like to fab my own bumper using the stock and a lightbar. so if you plan something share it so i can see what is involved to it.

ya im workin on plans for it now but i have to find a mandrel bender before anything will happen but i will deffinately share it haha

oh does anyone know where i can find like blueprint kinda thing i guess for a 95ish f-150 something that has like a side front top view kinda thing

oh man...i saw the schematics for a homemade one somewhere ill dig around after school tomorrow and ill post with something for ya...good luck in the meantime

well i was talkin about the truck not the bumper but that will help too haha thanks

mmmmkay no mesurements or knowledge in this yet because i dont have the tools materials parts time or money right now but this is kinda sorta round about what i want it too look like

mostly 3in. tubes that are going to be bolted to a set of brackets that are already on the frame

not very original but it works lol

3 inch is way too big...go 1.5.Put the winch behind the bumper if you are keeping the factory bumper(the way you have it,first time you use the winch it will rip off).here is a pic of a pro-comp light bar on mine...1.25 tube(not a great pic of it)......and the bumper on my toy.... 1.5 tube.

The winch needs to be mounted as close and level to the frame as you can get
