rear bumper build

[lee]

my buddy scott is an awesome fabber, and is helping me build a rear bumper for my truck that is modeled after bruce's / charles' bumpers on yt.

here is the progress so far.. it should be done tomorrow :biggrin2:

you can see the bumper pad fits perfectly!

and the aftermath of a quick wheelin' run after we got tired of working on the bumper yesterday

Lookin good can't wait to see the final install! Thats a good lookin truck there...what size are those tires out of curiousity??

 

[neliconcept]

hes got 305/70/16 procomp mt

Lee you plan on using the stock bumper top with this new one? Im thinking about using 2x2 or bigger square tube rails to build mine with later.

 

[lee]

yup, thats why its installed there... i love the way custom bumpers look with that in place. not to mention its a nice piece of plastic -- its a nice step if you need to access the roof.

I like Robs bumper aka nc994run

I like that design so thats my plan probablly

Im not on the right computer to make it bigger so I'll get a better shot once I load my mac up

Looks good, Lee, keep us updated.

 

[lee]

[lee]

teasers....

this is a hoop being held up to see what it looks like / to test for height placement.

again that is a TEST FIT, NOT PERMANENT

[lee]

[MillerPKA]

woops i didn't see the picture of the spraypaint session, nevermind haha

 

[lee]

side protection hoops are on

 

[neliconcept]

hoops look awesome.. should def protec the body on off camber situations where you are almost on the side.

I just realized from River Rock trip last weekend.. im SASing my rig before SE4rj4

im pissed off

when you paintin it?

 

[lee]

need to do a bit of cutting, then cap the ends, paint, and add the bumper pad... then itll be all set.

i expect to have it finished end of the day monday (columbus day)

 

[lee]

forgot to post thats its all done

 

[MillerPKA]

damn you...that's hot...


you wouldn't have the final blueprint for that would you? if i were to ever get a custom bumper it would be exactly like that. hopefully you can get me some dimensions so i can get started!

Wow,your truck resembles nothing what it was less than two years ago. From casual soccer mom truck to a mean,lean off road machine.:biggrin2:
