Custom Front Bumper Pics Thread

Post pics of custom front bumpers here!

[Robinhood4x4]

I got hitch material (sort of) and welded it to the winch mounting plate then fabbed a cradle to wrap around the mount. The winch mount sits in the cradle with 2 hitch pins securing it to the rest of the truck.

The winch slips in from the top.

Here's the finished product

To move it to the back I use 2x2 tube and slide it into the winch bracket.

And then just plug it into the hitch receiver in the rear.

1st version

http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f35/mossyrocks/bumper/f%20bumper/fbumper003b.jpg

the winch mount is 3/8" with 1/4" bumper mounts and 1/4" bottom spoiler.
The sides (minus the corners which are 1/4" for beating on) are 1/8" 2x4 tapered down with 1/4" top plates. The bottom plates of the sides are also 1/4".

Here's my junk

[wifesaysimadumbass]

cmon andy show em the best part the beer holders

[freejake3]

You asked for it. Yes, these have been field tested and proved they could hold 1/2 can of ice cold beverage from Sheep Canyon to the hardball in Borrego Springs. Skinny pedal applied.

[reggie 00]

Nice, That's one way around the open container law huh?

[wifesaysimadumbass]

andy doesn't even drink enough to justify having beer holders on his rig

[freejake3]

Well, I guess you figured it out then. I put them in there so I can carry some spares for you and your alcoholic tendencies :flipoff:. J/K.

[DEATHRUNNER]

I want the beer holder mod. That would be sick!

[freejake3]

Free install with every six-pack. None of that Strawberry crap either.

[DEATHRUNNER]

Don't be a hater Andy. I new Marc was kinda fruity. I just did what seemed right.

[AxleIke]

That beer holder mod is sweet.

I gotta look into that! :D

[freejake3]

I'm building a front bumper for a 1st Gen with another set. Just another
happy alcoholic on the road of life.

[Intrepidyota]

Just ran across this thread, figured I would throw mine in here. It is pretty simple and will later get a center hoop and tie into an exo.

[FlexIncRunner]

[corax]

my weekend project - 2" round, 1/8" thick, 3 bolts on the front + 2 through the tow hook on each side (10 bolts total) . . . I don't think it'll go anywhere

http://img81.imageshack.us/img81/3857/1000024ym1.jpg

When I make up my mind about lighting, I'll put in 2 diagonal braces on the top hoop to the main bar. I may also try to retro-fit a winch tray onto it, but I'm not sure it'll work

[Tankota]

^^ Nice, it must weigh a little huh. I need to get some pictures up of my poop pipe pusher.

I think I figured it at 50-60 lbs, but well worth it. Back in Hampton, VA, when I first installed it, I had the pleasure of caving in the rear 1/4 of a Corolla that did a triple lane change into my front end. Old man's car was drivable but much uglier for the encounter. I had a little bit of paint transfer onto my bumper, but no damage otherwise

[Tankota]

Nice - I have 4" round 3/8" thick steel waterpipe rear bumper on mine. Had similar experience with a civic that came out of a driveway way to closeto me.

[ADH8796]

Not mine anymore but this was the customer front bumper I had on my 99 4runner

that looks nice :thumbup:.

If you didn't live up north, I'd bet you would have cooling problems with all that lighting blocking the grill :D

Kidding, it looks good.

Here are a few pics of my bumper. This was my first ever welding project, but I think it turned out pretty well. If interested, the full build-up thread is here: http://www.yotatech.com/f88/bandit-runner-s-3rd-gen-front-bumper-build-206103/

Thanks, but its not heavy at all, only weighs about 90 lbs. That's much less than most aftermarket bumpers.

Steve, what're you driving these days anyhow?


Still racking miles on the FUNrunner. I'm kind of stuck with it since I just put a new motor & new ipt transmission in it late last year. Would love to trade it for a bone stock 05 Tundra.
