DCgabel Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 K, so i used some C-channel steel and welded it up to fit around the front. Not a big fan of the way it looks and i am still tinkering around with it as of right now. But this is how far i am. My original idea was to replicate the TJM Bullbar. I have pipe that still needs to be bent up and welded on. More coming.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pathyboy12 Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Mine looked a little goofy to mid process... and for my corner I just put a flat piece back... and then did a angle step down underneath. Looks good so far tho! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCgabel Posted December 20, 2012 Author Share Posted December 20, 2012 Wow, great job! How thick is it c-channel? Do you have any upclose pics of the brackets used to attach it to the frame? I used a 1/8" steel C-channel. As for the resevours i just nothced around them because i wanted the bumper to sit tight to the front and not stick out like the regular TJM or Rhino bumpers. For the brackets. i cut up some Steel angle and they bolt right on to the factory bumper mounts on the top and on the bottom i had to cut out the factory rad support because it was crap condition and welded in piece of metal tubing, i forget how thick but its at the least a 1/8" thick. BUt i welded some brackets that have the bumper bolt on to as well. All together four grade eight bolt fasten the front on to it. Ill try to get some pictures up sometime.

DCgabel Posted December 20, 2012 Author Share Posted December 20, 2012 Did you have fun getting your stock bumper off?? and how did you mount the bumper to the frame? Fun? It was simple actually took three seconds. Two small flat head bolts on the top and some plastic pops in the bottom. Then the whole thing pulls right off. Granted i had to give it a good tug. (Just a tip unclip the Foggies and signals before pulling it off to avoid pulling the wire right out of them, sensible, yes but hey first time i pulled the bumper off i almost did that very thing) Four bolts. Made some clips that bolt on to the factory mounts on the top and for the bottom i welded on some clips to bolt the bottom of the bumper on. Took a while to measure everything up to make sure it was all level but it was worth it. Ill try to get pictures soon. sorry i havent yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

new4x4r Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 How do you live 5 mins from me and I've never seen you? Bumper looks good man, get rid of the Obscenely large washer fluid tank. Buy a smaller one from Canadian Tire and mount it under the battery. NISSAN TRUCK MEET NIAGARA GATEWAY!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
