Custom Built Bumpers
Hey yall. So I, as with probably a lot of you, have looked around for front bumpers for our trucks, only to notice that the prices of them are outrageous. Seeing this, I decided to build my own for A LOT cheaper. I had the idea that I would post here to see if anyone would possibly be interested in buying one built by me, for cheaper than the rest out there. Quality guaranteed.
I came up with a couple options:
1) Building the complete bumper, shipping, etc.
2) Selling a kit that would have all the pieces, all tube pre-bent, and everything that would be needed. All you would have to do is get it welded, which would still be much cheaper than the competitors full bumpers.
I can also add anything you want to it to make it one of a kind. I figure there are quite a bit of people out there like me that refuse to pay over a grand for a front bumper, so hopefully you guys see this thread. I can assure you my bumpers would be good looking and quality, just without the huge price tag. So if your interested, post below and I see if I want to get this going. I will post pics of mine soon, as I am still finishing it up. Projected material cost on mine is under $100. Just a little food for thought for yall.
Cheers!

First few that are interested and purchase will get a smokin' deal...

Sounds like a good idea!
Just as FYI though, need to PM Lenn if going to pursue selling these for $ as will need to be a registered vendor on the site.
If just getting ideas and info that's fine for now, but once you start making or selling them, have to be a vendor prior.

What I would be most interested in is like buying the plans and templates for a bumper. Something that could be mailed or sent over the internet and then printed out and then I could take that to a fab shop and have them assemble it for me. However I can understand the risk of those plans being shared or reused and taking away money you deserve.
