87manche Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 So I took the angle grinder to the body today. Scary. No more rollpan, hope to have the new bumper finished and mounted tomorrow. Will get pics/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87manche Posted February 27, 2006 Author Share Posted February 27, 2006 Got the new bumper welded up and mounted. It's still ugly as sin. I need to trim the ends with an angle, and grind the whole thing down it and paint. Also need to drill my shackle mounts. It should look alright when it's finished. Made out of 3/8 angle iron for the mounts, sticks trough a piece of 2x6 channel. Ugly, but it's what was laying around as scrap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87manche Posted February 28, 2006 Author Share Posted February 28, 2006 I was getting to it Ugly!! I need to pull it, drill it for my license plate and light. I may also drill it for some aux backup lights. I'm going to trim the ends a bit to make it less square, and of course it needs painted. It's hella sturdy. I jacked up the truck with it. Bumper is 2x6 c channel, real hard stuff, it's all built out of scrap so I'm not sure what it was originally. Something structural. Bumper mounts are made from angle iron, 2x3.5 that sticks through the face. Bumper is held on each side to cut down stock bumper mounts with 4 1/2" bolts and nuts. Stock bumper brackets are held to frame with 4 more of the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
