You can! Buy a cheap used 220 mig and just start playing around, you'd be surprised what you can do

At this point in time, no. I think if I ever decided I want one/it's necessary, I can always go back and cut a little bit of steel and integrate one

You don't even need that. I'm using a harbor freight flux core machine. Cost me 100 bucks.

All tacked together. Time to drop it down and weld it up! Still need to add my d-rings, aux lights and license plate holes too.

Other than a drill for a few holes, this was all I used

bumper
I think when you started your rear bumper post I questioned if you were ready to take on the project. I was obviously wrong lol. Both look awesome!

Lol, thanks! They were definitely a lot of work. I estimated that each one took roughly 40 hours.

Just need to install and wire up my aux lights now. Should be able to get to it tomorrow after work.

I weighed it. 98 pounds. Stock bumper is somewhere around 20 pounds, so a 70 lb increase. The front end isn't nearly as stiff now though which is nice.

I actually don't think I mentioned it in this one since it was just picking up with the leftovers from the rear bumper. It's a little thicker than I had originally desired but I found the sheet at the scrap yard and got it for a great deal on it. I should be able to return my leftovers and get a decent amount back. All that being said, it was 1/4" steel.
