Well here's what I did today. Cut the stock bumper brackets off and used them to make this low profile pipe bumper. I'm still going to ad some shackle mounts and a hitch. And of course paint! Let me know what you think! Good or bad! Suggestions welcome!

 

Looks good i hate the stock bumper

 

Me too!! It looks cheap! Not to mention this stock bumper was rusted out! It will look a lot better when I finish it tomorrow!

 

They bend easy too, and look like theyre made for a different truck

 

nice job on the bumper, and the stock bumpers aint flimsy lol. i pulled a jeep Cherokee sideways about 3 feet and the bumper barely bent any. (my end hooked his and i pulled him)

 

Thanks! Ha ha that's awesome.

 

are you going to cap the ends somehow

 

Ya when I take it off to finish welding I think I will. I made it so it bolts and unbolts just like a stock bumper

 

I think a roll pan would look better although not as strong, but it will probably look better when painted. I'll let you know.

 

Ya my friend has a 95 4x4 with a roll pan and it looks great! But...there is no where to tow or hook on to it from the back. It will look better when I'm done!
