home made Ranchhand

I finally finished up building a rear bumper over the Christmas holidays. Turned out pretty good I thought and didnt have near as much money in it as I would if i had bought it...but also having the right tools and machinery goes a long way. Going to see what you guys thought??

Ditto. Except I would have gave a little more clearance on the sides. Could hit the sheet metal pretty easy if someone bumped into you or you backed into something (yes it happens).

Nice job though !.

Looking good. Post the front one when you're done. You have the talent, you may as well.

Excellent !!!!! I like the tight fit. I do all my bumpers the same way , with a tight fit to the body. Someone is going to have to hit that pretty hard to bend it. Great job!!!!

Dr. Evil----wouldnt have hurt my feelings any if there was a lil more gap in there but thats what it wound up being so im happy..dont think it will give much to the way i braced it up. Its a pretty stout bumper.
Nelrod---the front is a bought brushguard
