Just saying "Hi" and seeing whats going on.
I have actually been a member here for a while, but never posted anything. I always used this site as a resource/search tool.
My Frontier has been my dependable daily driver for 5 years now, and I love it dearly. Heck, it is going to be my daughters first car, and she is only 5 years old. My true toy is my 79 Fiat 128. Fun little car!
Anyway, back on topic, the reason I finally stopped lurking, and started posting.....
I have been wanting to get a REAL bumper for the front. I saw the Shockworks bumper and LOVE it. But, I cannot justify the cost at this time (or any other time). I have been floating the idea of bbuilding my own. Has anyone here done that? It really doesnt look that hard. 3/8 flat steel to mount to th eframe, and use as the main support. Cut the visible peices from 3/16 steel, and "skin it". It'll be quite time consuming, but it doesnt appear to be that terrible technical. WEld it up, grind the welds smooth, get it rino coated, throw it on.
Ideas, thoguhts, advice? Is this "doable" or would it be a waste of time?
