Bumpers ?

Welder here too, and yeah steel is freaking expensive.

Helium is stupid hard to find as well, so sticking to Argon for TIG.

 

Well on my way to getting these done

 

Thats whats up!! looking forward to see the final product!

 

C4 Fab… quality work and highly recommended!!

 

When 5th Genners suggest a bumper by a company that doesn't support 3rd Genners, in a 3rd Gen thread

 

Can’t you tell I’m a woodworker …

I looked over the options that are out there , lots of amazing looking bumpers but the prices are just a bit much..

 

Well I mean, steel is expensive right now.

Then gas prices suddenly surged, so take into account transport, which means materials will go up even more.

Then the development of already existing options and tooling, that wasn't cheap.

$1k for a nice front bumper is a bargain.

 

This time I’m getting off cheep. The cost of the wire / bolts. … / buying whatever size lights I need to fit

 

Fortunately I've got extra metal

 

Man I should be building these in your shop !!

 

Putting some time in on the bumpers. Taking a bit to get it all done but what can I say I’m a busy man…

 

Got em tacked to the brackets, bottoms brackets on, welded up I’m priming now. May have to rush into a top coat to get it back on tonight

 

Speaking of, I just welded my bumper up yesterday -



















I'm almost done with it. Just need to add a few beads on the inside seams and weld up the light brackets.

Not doing that until my DD SS3 fog lights arrive though.

 

Damn that’s bad ass ! Winch will go inside ?

 

If I bought one, sure.

I need to figure out relocating the AC drier though as it's exposed like hell.

I may leave the bumper as is, and not finish it with wings at the ends.

 

I’d have to say .. do a lightweight bolt on wing to finish it off

 

Roof rack. Back bumper finished up
