Custom front bumper
I had a fender bender the other day and bent my front bumper. I am looking to build my next one that is a bit more robust. I was looking to the users of this forum to show off what other members have or have built. I am looking to build something along the likes of a Buckstop or a Warn classic. Any input and or photos will greatly be appreciated. Thanks in advance Jonas

Thanks for the pics and threads. For some reason my phone won't let me search the forum there's another thread that I stumbled across that was a good one as well.

I like that one. ^^^^ That is similar to what I wanna do for the frontend of my crew. Probably make the center hoop a tad higher and stretch out those braces higher on the hoop for more like a pre-runner look.

I played and played with the positioning of the hoop's before welding them. I ended up just leaving enough room to remove the winch if necessary.

Thanks,
