I hate to burst your bubble Emelianenkov because you look so happy to make it... but uh... I think cardboard is not the best bumper material. LMAO
It looks like a promising design though, I'm interested to see how it turns out.

Tired after 52 minutes?
Try 14 hours...? Look when I posted...
We did indeed make those! No welding just yet
So you're telling me I can't build my bumper out of plywood? Damn ittttt!!! Lol
I'm pumped with how this came out!
I think it's going to look sweet!!
The T4R community here can be very brutal but honest....just take it in stride...some peoples tastes might not fit others. I for one like how my own FAB came out...it's unique and I like it....now that you're building your own stuff, Emelianenkov.....you'll see how hard fabrication work really is.......I can go to CBI, baja offroad, or some other pre-made...but I know I wouldn't be satisfied. So here's a toast to you, Emelianenkov, you deserve it!

Alex, that is looking good.
Grappler, everybody knows fabrication is really hard work. If it wasn't we would all be doing it. The work you have done is very clean and finished off nicely. You asked several times what people thought so you got what people really thought. I am sorry you feel so victimized by comments on this forum. When you come across as an elitist because you have the means and skills to fabricate, apposed to the other members for having to "buy and install" their mods, you might get a little more than you want. Just being brutally honest.....:nod:

Thanks grappler!
I hate at least one thing from each of the bumpers on the market, so I'm VERY happy to get the opportunity to build my own bumper. This design is my own and has a lot of personal touches. I'll have my logo in the front cut out like the DO from demello, it'll have a brutally sturdy winch plate and most of the pieces are triangular because triangles are the sturdiest of all shapes.
It's unique, and we'll be selling these in the near future
As for this forum. This site has the kindest community I have been a part of. Join a civic forum for some brutal beat downs by some trolls.
I love T4R.org!

Dont ask for opinions on how things look then complain when they dont suit your needs. Your front bumper is nice, a little hellrun style and too much going on. Then the rear is way too busy. Once again the hellrun theme. Overly bulky and over-designed. Sorry that i didnt stroke your e-ego but you asked, i told.
Ha, ha! I never "complained" about anybody's comments....please go back and recheck my responses.....all I said is that t4r can be brutally honest....that's a good thing! I don't see where I was complaining....anyway. I'll keep building and fabbing you guys can keep "buy and installing" and I'll keep submitting my pics for opinion as usual....I'll be at the "ultimate fighter" tryouts this week so no work....wish me lucK....love this forum

Hey dude, I'm a comma, have we met?! I see your fab work but have you actually taken your rig off pavement? I've only seen it parked in your driveway. Yes, I bought all the stuff on mine but I also wheel it, a lot!!

I agree! The first post I read from this guy was him dissing most people on this forum by saying we simply "buy and install". Then I see this thread... his pics have 1 like while the poster after him has alot. Theres a reason for that. Not everyone has the means to build "from scratch" their parts. Lights are install parts for the most part but alot of members have baked and retrofitted their headlights. Thats a build! Cutting and welding, soldering and wiring, drilling etc... building imo.

I'm in the process of making a disconnecting sway bar set-up... once I find a local source for 4130/4140 :sobbing:
Come on bro... I don't post stuff to get flamed. I enjoy this forum as much as the next guy. I use the information on here a bunch. Forgive me if I've come across in a bad way. Like I said. You guys are brutally honest and I enjoy that, constructive criticism is good. So don't take my post in a bad way. And yes I am going to the TUF tryouts as a competitor, if anyone asks I can post a link to some highlights of some of my fights either boxing or mma I'm professional in both. Thanks guys.

You guys are funny getting all excited.:deadhorse: I wish I could weld , I have the skill to do some decent metal fab but I need to practice and get some better equipment. It also takes a lot of time. I bought all my stuff but I installed it myself and I feel that at least I had some involvement in the choices I made and how it all comes together. Everyone has their own style. For the record I agree with some of the other guys in that the super slim front bumper and the boxy rear looks off balance but its still a nice custom job and a sweet looking rig as well. I wish I had the time and skill to make stuff like that. Nice job.

That thing looks sick. I say you paint it black and leave it on until the real one is ready.
