What to do on a long weekend??? Try building a bumper!
So I had nothing to do this weekend because I had intended to do my Titan Swap. My brother in law (a mechanic) couldnt help because he damn near cut his hand off. So I borrowed some equipment and threw together a rear bumper.
Total cost of steel $56 including enough to build a second one. The most difficult part was drilling through the 1/2 steel plate. That took some doing! It took me about 6 hours from design to paint. What do you think???

looks good mang! Do you have some access to a mill or something? How'd you cut the semi-circles in the 1/2" steel plates?
I think I would have made the lower bar a little shorter to match the angle of the bed sides, but for $56, and some elbow grease, that looks pretty damn good.

looks good, Nizmut and I started the same thing.. I haven't touched a welder in over 8 years so we did a lot of "practice" but we did fix his shock hanger, I was thinking about something like that, but I think I'm going with one pipe, and cutting the bed for clearance.

Yes I am going to cut the two lower ends shorter... I didnt want them to wrap around the sides. I am going to angle the lower cuts.
The notches in the 1/2 plate were done with a hand grinder and finished with a dremel tool... OH YEAH, that was fun! Thanks guys, I just bought the D-rings and will have some more pics later!

lookin good and those are damn good welds! only thing id do is get some end caps... fab some out of steel or maybe buy some plastic ones. itll keep the wind from whistling by it and itll keep you from takin a big ol chunk of your leg out if you accidentally hit it. OUCH!!!
