New bumper

So the old stock Dodge bumper had gotten a little beaten up, and pulled out of shape from getting stuck in the yard lol. I decided it was time for a beefy bumper and some tow hooks. The front pieces are 1/4" steel plate and the top is 1/8" diamond plate. Still working on it but I really like how it looks so far.

I used the stock dodge bumper brackets and built off of those. If it looks like it's not totally square it's because it isn't! It was in a wreck and I replaced the passenger side front fender but the front grill is still pushed in a little bit. I just matched the lines and I'm not too worried about it.





where I'm going to mount the hellas





I still have the grind down the welds for the top plates and reinforce all of the underside but it's pretty solid!

I might add a grille guard later after I get a tube bender, but the transmission getting built so I can actually drive it again is #1 on the list of to-do's.
