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

[Sabas]

Hawk & I just built a coule, with the help of Scott @ americanbronco.
Bumpers have arecess so that the winch is flat. I'll have Ric post some pics.

Having the flat tow hangers was important to me, as well as having the Winch block as little of the radiator as possible.

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

Nice looking rig.

Think I need to buy a welder and give this a shot. I just can't warrant spending $500 on bumpers when I could spend $500 on a welder and $100 on materials.

That's the spirit!

I'm surprised cbearly hasn't posted his on here yet. Do a search on "bumper build" and look for the one that cbearly started. His bumper is NICE.

Heres the Back and front of the white '66 I did and the 1/4" C-channel I cut %) for the yellow'68 but I do not like it much but serves its purpose. You know I dont want to stand out to much! ;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?? This picture is from Derrick1032 (hope he doesn't mind)

of course I dont mind(a little flattered actually). heres the rear that matches the front

WOW!!! I like your bumpers too. I guess I will need to make my mind up between the solid style and the tube, or buy a second bronco and run both.;D You want to make another set?;D

Thanks. ..problem is that they were made on my truck (she's a little tweaked), so they may not sit straight on your truck if I make them here and ship.

If I owned the bender (and I got the hydraulic hook-up), I probably would make some more.

If you want closer/more detailed pics I can take some for you.

Bumper Shot

Made my front and rear bumpers in the basement.

Added a receiver winch mount and Hilift jack toting brackets to the front and am working on the spare tire/ Gerrycan carrier for the rear but I'm not satisfied with the design thats a lot of weight bouncing all around.
I need to take some fresh pics I have made many mods and departed with several more $$$ since these.

Anybody made stainless steel ones besides JD ?

If its not to much trouble that would be great. I'm hoping to have my Bronco done before SOB 12, and make my own bumpers (with a little help) by then also. Thanks

Thanks. After posting in several "let's see your bumper" threads, I thought you guys might be tired of seeing mine. Good to know it's not forgotten.

There are some great home built bumpers shown here. 73bronco - you should have lots examples to get good ideas from now.

What are you guys using for hinges and locks?

My hinge came from www.sleeoffroad.com, it was the toughest out there. My latch is combination of something you'd find on a tailgate latch and a spring pin for backup.

My hinge is just an old bronco hub with the flange cut off, and a simple post and pin latch, I'll try and get some pics up tonight
