Topic: Front and rear bumpers designed in Auto CAD rocksliders are finished

[sabatoa1]

I designed my front like one I had scene but with a bigger stinger and different mounting. My mounting plate is made out of 1/4 in plate with 2 bends dimpled winch holes for strength.

I designed my back bumper to tuck it under as much as posible to fix the horrible departure angle on 4runners.

Ya I have a bender that bend up to 2 1/2" pipe I am going to start bending up my front bumper this weekend hopefully if I can get my winch plate finished. I have all my rear bumper bent I just need to weld it up as you can see I started it but didn't finish.

What are they made out of?

They are made out of schedual 40 pipe. Not really what I wanted to use but it was free!!!

I am an Engineering Technican, I have been working with auto cad for years know from Autocad lite which is 2d design to Autocad Inventor which is 3d design. All of my classes for these programs have been through a company called Imaginit in Salt Lake City, Ut.

That's what I'm thinking about making mine out of. Hope I can find some for free.

What bender did you use? They turned out really nice by the way.

[sabatoa1 [OP]]

I used an electronic bender made by Greenlee

This is the start of my front bumper winch plate still needs the receiver welded on and winch mounting holes drilled. Here is a pic of what I have done to this point.

those look really good. are you using a 110v welder? that's what i've got (miller) to build my sliders.

[sabatoa1 [OP]]

I have a 110v welder it does the job. I am not the greatest welder but they have been used alot since they were installed. I have all of my back bumper bent and ready to weld up but I need to fill up my bottle. I do not like welding with gasless wire it sucks and none of my welds look good.

I am finally building my tube bumper just doing it on buddies runner.

Here are a couple pic's

i looks like it needs to go up a couple inches closer to the fenders. looks like a good start 

[sabatoa1 [OP]]

ya I know there was going to be another tube under the main but he did not want it. It would have brought the tube about 3/4" away from fender.
