Picture request...Anyone build their own bumpers they want to share?

[regshawn]

Here is the front that i made, still haven't made the back yet %)

Love that bumper, and would love some specs and some drawings.

Dont really have anything drawn up, just started making it out of 1/8" Foram board to get the shape and fit down, then transformed it into metal. Here is my original post of the build.

A friend bought an EB for parts and gave me the rear bumper that someone made. It doubles as a big air tank as well. I thought it was kinda cool. Cleaned it up and painted/coated it and it works well.

Here are some of mine that I designed and built myself.

I have one more question for you, is it all flat stock or did you start with some tube?
Looks great and I understand about wanting something different, I just love the way that one looks, and eventually will take a shot at building a bumper for me with ideas from many different styles I've seen, so far this is the closest to what I desire. Thanks

,,,,in the norcalbroncos link a very important thing was mentioned...no matter how strong the the bumper is it will tear from the frame if only the stock holes are used ..... mine pulled the bottom rear driverside through & started working the other bottom hole from the previous owners actions .... anyway figure a way to put more bolts or you'll be sorry

Here is my rear tube bumper, I am still finishing the Jerry can holder, but the bumper is all done and the tire swing is functional, but not complete. I also included the drawing I made before starting on it. I will be mounting two Jerry cans instead of one now though.

That's pretty sweet. I like how the spare tire hoop is done.

Here are a few of mine

That one looks nice!!!

Wow, These are real nice. I have been thinking of building a couple bumpers but my skills with welding are still in the learning stage. Here is a picture of the Bumper that was on mine when I got her.

Heres a couple of mine, the rest are in my build page at the bottom in my sig. line.

With all these Stealth knockoffs I thought I'd throw mine into the ring too.

Those are killer!

Thanks Dusty, they seem to work really well also. I didn't use them much on my first time out, but thats a good thing.

It was actually all pieced together from flat plate....lots of grinder finish work, but worth it. I now have a break press that fits in my hydraulic press and will do more bending and fitting on the rear one.

My rear. Picture taken on Sledgehammer at the 40th.

That is a really nice adaptation of the rear tube-style. Very cool.

 

[hobzbronc]

i built this one a few years ago. it has diamond plat on the top and tucks the winch away. looks good and simple. im going to ad some tubing this winter;D

Thanks, I am working on a design for the front, I have a Duff bumper now with the removable winch on a receiver, but I am tired of stowing the winch in the bronco and it sticks out to far to leave it on the front. It's funny because I initially planned to build a stealth style bumper for the rear but wanted to match the front Duff bumper and didn't want to build two. This is the closest I have seen to what I am thinking of for the front except the corners will wrap around like my back bumper. Possibly a stinger/light bar??
