muddfildvaynes Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Me and a buddy have been working on my bumper for the past month; I originally bought it from another member on here jwbehm from AL and had it shipped to NH. It initially looked like a homebuilt bumper from someone who was learning how to weld; as he bought his pathy off a buddy who originally built the bumper and i bought the bumper off him. So we had to to refinish it and weld in alot of support and gussets for the winch plate to be able to take the stress along with a new skid plate made from thicker steel. Here are pics of what it looked like when I bought it and what it looks like now. This is it when I bought it: This is it now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muddfildvaynes Posted February 21, 2011 Author Share Posted February 21, 2011 I was going to try to make some brackets kind of like these: and incorperate somehow like this one: Plus it is welded to the factory tow loops and it connects directly to the frame right where the rail opening is with 4 bolts, 2 on each side: There is a local guy who customizes doors and here is his sample of what he does, I wonder how doing something like this would look at pathy's: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muddfildvaynes Posted February 21, 2011 Author Share Posted February 21, 2011 The bumper weighed about 98lbs when I bought it then we have probably added about 20lbs to it since then with reinforcing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
