2012 ecoboost front bumper
 
Does anyone know somewhere in cali that can build me a prerunner style front bumper for my ecoboost. I hate those big bulky bumpers and can't seem to find a nice tube prerunner bumper that will fit my truck. Oh yeah and somewhere that is reasonable on price.

Where in Cali? What do you mean by "reasonable" price? I'm about to start building my rear bumper (not a tube style), then on to the front. FYI, the price of steel anymore is nothing short of outrageous. Then add the cost of welding consumables, then add the cost of the "talent" to weld it properly after cutting all the pieces, and you can see why aftermarket suppliers are getting well north of $1000 for a bumper. I've already spent $150 on the 10ga plate alone. Then the plasma cutter consumables, welding wire, grinding wheels, MIG gas... I'm not going to be paying myself much when all is said and done, but I'll be making it just how *I* want it. 30 years of welding is going to finally pay off! :thumbup:

San Bernardino area. Yeah prob like a round $1000 for a tube style. I really don't like those huge bulky bumpers.

I hear ya, they do make a truck look like a beautiful woman with an enormous nose don't they... Thus the reason I'm making my own... :thumbsup:

I hope you didn't lose anyone close to you in the tragedy down there...

Hi Mike, go onto SCOR So Cal Offroad Recovery group on facebook. There are a lot of fabricators out by you. I know of a good one in South bay.
