Made a Front Bumper

It took my father and I six days, but we finally got it done. I've been planning to build this thing for over 2 years, feels good to have it done.









Go to my sportsmobile blog (signature) to see all the details.

Wish it was aluminum. It's all made out of steel found at a local scrap yard.

Re: Made a Front Bumper

Looks great Tom!
I remember you making your rear bumper too maybe a year or more ago and that was nice too. Way to go!

You and your dad did a nice job.

Re: Made a Front Bumper

How about a pict of the rear bumper you made? Nice job on the front and I like that nobody can steal your winch. I'd tack the bumper mounts to the frame anyway so they won't steal the whole thing. Looks killer!
