Gadget.. Just realized you were talking about the creeper! Haha

 

Getting ready to paint when I have time! Should be done by the weekend

 

Nice work it looks great!

 

One of my favorite features of my rear bumper is the utility work lights. We tied them into the cargo circut with a relay. Pictures in my album.

 

Thanks moparnut!
Kiszka, I was gonna do lights but don't need em much right now and not worth 100+ or the LEDs. It might be rockin the lights some time down the road

Got it primered. Sand a tiny bit tomorrow and spray the dang thing already. Tired of looking at it on jack stands!

 

Darn man,

That bumper is so big, you could........



Smuggle up some immigrants inside it from mexico.

or

have a party with a group of nice looking ladies standing on it from end to end...

or

Use it a shield against any stray bullets heading your way

or

Attach an excavator arm to it and start digging out trenches for the local plumber who needs to run a new service waste line







Looks great, BTW....

 

I'm really digging the good looking lady option! Going to the beach next week so I'll see if I can make that happen! I'm hoping the extra weight of this thing helps the ride a little

 

Got the stinkin thing painted! Came out pretty good. Mount it on the truck sometime this weekend

 

Don't forget being able to back over all zombies as needed. After the nuclear EMP attack our trucks will be some of the newest things on the road other then pre 70's rigs. Oh wait watching to much dooms day preppers!

 

Hey, look at that.... someone else demented as I am....



What kind of paint did you use ?

 

That turned out very nice.

 

I used some automotive paint my dad used on his flatbed. It's high quality stuff and mixed some hardener with it. Sprayed it with a decent paint gun.. Took me a bit to get used to the gun!

As far as prep.. I wiped it down with acetone for like an hour and then a few coats of self etching primer. I have a clear coat rattle can but not decided if I want to use it. I think it should hold up well and the paint looks like it stuck real good.. Time will tell I guess!

Gonna try and mount it tomorrow and wire the plug and the license plate lights.

Had a friend who is a painter spray my grill.. I started the bumper build so I wanted to paint too!



Thanks everyone for the compliments. It's gonna look awesome on the ol girl

 

Got er on today! What y'all think?

 

That bumper looks slick, wish i had half the talent some of the guys and gals like you have....great jod

 

Thanks!

It's not too hard, you just have to go for it. The hardest part was bending the hitch. After that it was all measuring and cutting. Then weld her up.

Off course having the welder, torch, etc. helps.
