Fabbed up my bumper out of cardboard, tell me what you think

[broncoitis]

Nice job looks really functional! I guess that you are welding the whole bumper? Any D rings or other tow points? Auxiliary lighting? I guess that if someone were fabbing up themselves they could add just as easy!

 

[blazinchuck]

guess ya should post the measurements here so everyone can get'em lol


looks great

 

[mortimersnerd]

Seems like a good opportunity to write up a tech article with your specs, given how many people are interested. Nice work!

thanks guys, i appreciate it. ya i am using 1" stock for my tow points. ya apparently i need to get my ass going on the measurements! lol soon! going to get my 302 tomorrow so after that i should have time to do it. i have all the measurements but to get the radius just right, thats gonna be tough. but i will get them. i will build another one out of cardboard just using the measurements so i know it will be right before i post up the measurements.

 

[johnnybgood74]

also, i do plan on just welding the whole thing up. unless i can find a shop that can bend up some of the pieces. that would save a ton of time!

Looks great. Might get a bit soft when it gets wet! LOL

 

[Pa PITT]

Looks good ...But one question are the tips heavy enough to not bent up on rocks.. OR is it on a show type rig. Show rig just fiberglass over it and paint it.. I'd like the plans also..

wow it does look alot like a logans bumper. i knew it looked like some bumpers that ive seen before. PAPITT, i think that when boxed in on the ends, it should hold up pretty well. i am trying to figure out how to print out the design so i can just post up the measurements on this thread.

Looks great. If you want, you can send me measurements etc., I can draw them up in cad as shop drawings and repost as jpegs so everyone can download and print....

Shoot me a PM if interested in this route.

Those are nice and pretty reasonable for the price.

johnnyb- How much $ do you think you will need to make yours?

 

[johnnybgood74]

im thinking that that front can be done for a little over 100.00. it will take a little over a 4x4 sheet of 3/16" steel

 

[SWBronc]

That is too cool! I sure would like the get the specs/measurements also, thanks.

 

[fmcpeters]

Very nice, and great idea to mock up in cardboard. Would love to have the measurements also.

[mavereq]

[johnnybgood74]

[cobralee]

That is going to be one very nice looking bumper indeed. Looks like you have a lot of interest in it too.
