| My Home Made $6 metal bumper
So my Bronco came with the ugly chrome bumpers, i hate chrome. So i bought some defender bumpers and put them on but the departure angle was horrible so i decided to build some. Bumper removed So I bought some 3/8 and 1/4 weldable rod from crappy tire for 12 bucks. I grounded the round bar to make it fit into the truck frame, kind of ugly but you dont see them. I used the smaller 1/4" rodfor these to fit in the square slots, didnt take much to make them fit, and there super tight I put it in a vice and use a bar to help bend it to shape i wanted. It bent super easy. After getting my bend i tack weld two bars togeather and tack weld the support bars on the back and test fitted. I wanted it close in but the tires when turned would rub added some primer coated with rocker guard so it can take a beating All done and mounted So this was my first time trying this, what ya think? Be kind lol I have enough bar left to make a rear bumper hence the "$6" bumper. I will trying some new designs in the future for a front with winch mount and more fancy designs. |

I like it. Maybe try flipping the front bumper mount upside down to raise it closer to the body?

Cool bumper! Are those the 2.2 Mudslingers? Or the 1.9 Mudslinger XLs? I'm interested in getting some for my Bronco and like the way your's fit. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk |
