Building a front bumper for my 89 truck
« on: Dec 30, 2007, 04:24:06 PM »
Ok i so im going 2 start building a front bumper that can hold a winch. I was just woundering if some other yoto owners have some pics of bumpers that they have built that i can see. Or if anyone has a temp. that i could look at so i could get some ideas. I want 2 make shure it is strong b/c my buddy built 1 and ended up ripping it off on the trail. And it was not pritty. Thanks.

I prefer ram-style sheet bumpers, while most people on here seem to like tube bumpers, which i also build. Here's the bumper on my truck, without the upper tubes installed...



And here's one i built for a friend of a friend, cheep and dirty but solid...

Wow, i really like your bumper, with the winch mount, u have the stinger on it, and it wraps around the corners to the fenders. I like the recovery D shackle on the front also
