***For those interested. Coastal Offroad High Clearance Front Bumper Build***

Keep in mind that you’ll need to plug it into a circuit that can support the amps you’re going to be drawing. The only outlet I can use my 140 on is on a 15A circuit and I can only run a bead for 8 or 9 seconds before the breaker trips. I bet you’ll run into that problem we’ll before you hit the welder’s duty cycle.

I can’t wait to buy a house and wire the garage for 3 phase haha

I too just installed my front Coast Offroad bumper. It's pretty straight forward and went together pretty quick. My only advice is to install 2x of the thin stainless washers between the frame and the plates that end up boxing in the frame. They suggest sliding one in to allow some room to easily get the bumper on/off. I did this but found after powdercoating it was still pretty tight getting it back on. That extra 1/16" would have been perfect. My $0.02

Also this. It takes greasing the frame rails and beating the bumper with a rubber mallet to get mine on but I assume that was mostly due to user error haha

I fully welded mine on with a 110v Everlast welder. Turned out great and is super strong!

Yeah mine is fully welded too, it just took forever haha
