Who made this bumper?
A friend of mine gave this bumper.....long story.
Anyways-
It came off of a truck from Texas. I've seen bumpers VERY similar to mine running around town on 2nd gen trucks so I believe it's not a one-off custom. Anyone know the manufacturer?
I have a close up and a side shot of it in my gallery.
Thanks in advance!

the only problem with this bumper is that the pipe at the bottom is very thin and will bend easily when you hit something.
I cut mine out and replaced it with some thick-walled stuff and repositioned it a little

Thanks for the info and the compliments guys!!
I've had it since June and have been wondering who made it. Now I can update my signature.
Thanks again,
Tim

I am currently developing a bumper for 03- 05 dodges
all the hard fabrication is done as of last night
I will have all the fabing done hopefully by monday
next week sometime I will try to post some pics of the bumper w/o paint
it is looking pretty good so far
Ive used some ideas from some of the bumpers on the market (reunel, buckstop, etc.) that I like and added some of my own ideas for a bumper that looks beautiful yet functional
some of the bumpers on the market look kind of crude. Im trying to stay away from that
one challenge I ran into is that the body of my truck is about 3/4" off center of the frame and I didnt design any way of adjusting the bumper side to side
so if I decide to start selling these I will have to design some way of doing that
the other thing is I dont have a winch (or the money to buy one )to fit into it and I would imagine most people would want that
I have made plenty of room for one ,just dont have a mounting plate in place. however, I could easily add one later , just gonna burn some paint
