My new front bumper!
« on: Nov 27, 2005, 08:31:49 PM »
hey guys! i've had some ideas in mind for some new tubing on the front of my truck. i cut my fenders straight off and added some tubing for protection. now i'm working on tieing it into a new front bumper. its not done yet, but let me know what you think so far! heres some before and after pics.

That looks pretty sweet. Any plan to reinforce or support the fender bumpers in the event of a rollover?  Just something to stiffen the corners near the headlights, tie the left and right together somehow, I like it.

yeah reinforcements are on the way!! i'm planning on putting a small thickwall peice of tubing, maybe 1" or so, across the whole front just under the front lip of the hood and above the top edge of the grill. it will connect on each side about where the  tube bends down in front of the fenders. that will tie the whole front together side to side. that should strengthen it up alot. i'm planning on finishing the bumper this weekend, so i'll post more pics soon!
