In the process of building this bumper for my 4runner.

Cad drawing.

Ready to cut some steel.

Just needs some fine tunning and paint.

Have you posted this on Pirate?? I think I have seen that design pic before. Looks good! I am partial to plate bumpers.

Thanks guys, no painted pics yet, this weekend. Going with gloss black.

how much would you guess the bumper weighs finished?

superman180 · « **Reply #10 on:** Jan 06, 2011, 06:10:36 PM »

Not sure on the weight but lighter than I had expected. I will roughly guess between 60 to 75 lbs. give or take

1980yota · « **Reply #11 on:** Jan 06, 2011, 06:43:41 PM »

Any plans to use the bumper as an air tank?? IMO one of the best pros of plate bumpers over tube bumpers along with looks.

superman180 · « **Reply #12 on:** Jan 11, 2011, 11:52:20 AM »

Bumper weighs 53lbs. Here is the finished pics.

superyota · « **Reply #13 on:** Jan 11, 2011, 12:36:27 PM »

wow. i really like that. one of the cleanest plate bumpers i've seen. making me want to redue my tube with plate now.

87hillbillyoter · « **Reply #14 on:** Jan 11, 2011, 04:11:35 PM »

that looks really good man. nice, clean, lowkey but it still says GTFO of my way.

Finally got the winch wired up, here is where I decided to mount the control box.

That looks awesome! What is the thickness of the plate you used?

Muddytazz · « **Reply #21 on:** Jan 24, 2011, 05:24:23 PM »

Damn, that looks really clean. Gives me inspiration for my bumper design.

superman180 · « **Reply #22 on:** Jan 24, 2011, 06:41:11 PM »

Plate is 3/16" thick.

mr.bungle · « **Reply #23 on:** Jan 24, 2011, 09:58:05 PM »

looks great. although with all those fab skills why buy the tg fairlead when you could make a nicer one?

superman180 · « **Reply #24 on:** Jan 24, 2011, 10:51:23 PM »

I got the fairlead as a gift when the steel cable chews it up I will make one then add synthetic rope line too.

That will be the first you use it.

superman180 · « **Reply #26 on:** Jan 25, 2011, 11:13:08 AM »

Got it OOPS Aluminium Fairlead plus steel cable no bueno. Rope is high on list, maybe I will get lucky and not need it till then.

Switched out the steel cable with some winch line from Master Pull, got a great deal out at KOH. Last pic of this build now time to start putting a cage together.
