Homemade plate bumper build thread

[That_One_Guy]

I ordered a 17" light bar the other day fro Amazon and it arrived today, very pleased with how bright it is and love the look of it, now I wait for my red D-rings... and eventually to paint my car the magnetic gray of the new runners

Any pictures of it from the side?
From the one angle it looks like you might need to curve the edge of the bumper at the leading edge or your tire could hit.
Hard to tell from the pics you took

Here are some pics from the side, It may look like it would rub but while I was building it I occasionally put it on and tested it to make sure it didn't :thumb3:

Looks good at a normal stance, but have you tested the fit with the tire flexed up into the wheel well while turning and whatnot. Take it out on a trail or find a very large curb

Yea I did that this weekend, It came very close but not quite touching, It was about a foot and a half taller than the other wheel. :thumb3:

I finally got around to buying some red D-ring shackles for recovery, I'd say it looks very nice with the black

Looks good. Have you started drawing up plans for a rear bumper?

I've made a few designs in a 3D CAD software, giving it a somewhat similar design as the front, gonna start it in the summer once school is out
