Whattaya think about adding some "jail bars" to it, in the grille space ? Gonna paint it ? (black I assume?) Any concern over losing the air to the rad from the holes under the original ?? C/YA!

I'm pretty sure this will be a prototype for Sonny's first product.

Have about 6 hours in it so far but the gusset work and mounting brackets will be next. I plan to take more technical pics during that phase.

You did a really nice smooth job on that. did you make templates for it. I am inbetween building a steel bumper or going with tube. I like the tube for the wieght but I could paint an all steel bumper the same color as the truck and look almost stock. 2002 Honda Passport. 3 inch Indy4x lift with 912 OME's. 265 75 BFG m/t's with a 3 inch body lift, safari rack, tube sliders, tube rear bumper, on-board air Re: Just another home made bumper project with pics [Re: anubis] #716190 04/18/06 02:55 PM Joined: Dec 2005 Posts: 38 50 miles East of KC Pops1 OP Getting the Wheeling Fever Made a full mock up in trusty old card board, we have more than 1 rig so to save some $$ were gonna spring for 1 Warn 9,500 portable, so we will modify an off the shelf receiver. It will also help to keep the profile closer to stock styling but still give some GET OUT OF THE WAY! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/evil.gif" alt="" /> Scott Re: Just another home made bumper project with pics [Re: Pops1] #716191 04/18/06 11:47 PM Joined: Jul 2005 Posts: 681 Central NJ Troopersphere Rock Warrior Quote GET OUT OF THE WAY! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/evil.gif" alt="" /> That's just whut I was thinkin! I'm waiting to see the "Diamond Plate" version! Have ya thought up a similar design for the Gen1 ? and matching rear bumper ? I was thinkin' about sumthin' the other day... I was wondering if it would make any sense to make a sorta "bumper cover" ... like what you built, but that would just bolt on top of the existing bumper ??? Drill a few holes in the old meat, and bolt the thing right on top . Is that a dumb idea ? Last edited by Troopersphere; 04/18/06 11:54 PM. C/YA!
