Looking for some ideas on building some pipe bumpers with a little style. Not just pipe with square cut ends. Maybe some rectangular tubing also. Looking to stay cheap. Please show some pictures. Thanks

Sorry it's muddy, lol. It's rec tubing with some 3/8 angle welded to the bumper and bolted to the frame. I also cut in a receiver tube for a pull/winch point.

I used 2" x 6" x 1/4"rectangle tube. I have about $150 in material for both.

Mine are made of 1 1/2" steel pipe and some 2" x 1/4" angle. It didnt cost me a thing I had the stuff laying around. They are very stout and have had to pull a Jeep out more than once with them. Wait I did buy the receiver that is welded to the rear bumper that cost me about $25. I have since replaced the front with a duff prerunner but I still run the rear.

Heres the Ultra low budget rear bumper mine came with.

I didn't think it was quite adequate so I picked up this other home job a guy built down in Utah and sold me for $200. Just 2x4 tubing.

It had a roll over about an hour after this pic was taken.

Here's mine out of 4" x 6" rectangular tube. I tried to match the design of my Logan's front bumper with triangular facets.
