I am looking at building a bumper like this.

What kind of cost am i looking at for the materials?

$50-$70 in steel. Plus the cost of recovery points at $15 each, plus the cost of the hinge and latch around $70 or so.

I like this site. . .

I have a spindle setup that i never used if you do a swing out tire carrier

[Eckert]

coolest design ive seen is where you use an actual spindle and hub from a truck. works the same and it doubles for a spare lockout.

i would make it swing out from the opposite side so it is easier to see out the back window from the drives seat

[robertf03]

use an over center draw latch, the spring loaded stuff will rattle and sound like ass.

i was just thinking of welding a nut in the bumper and use a t-shaped handle bolt and tighten that down

[TdmayfieldIV]

I think i'll just start with the tube, reciever and d rings. Then when the money comes i'll do the tire carrier

That stuff looks beefier and is less expensive.

I just got my new axleshaft in the mail. I'll put that in tomorrow and start ordering bumper parts this weekend. Hopefully I'll have it done by the end of spring break

[TdmayfieldIV]

I put a bottle of lucas in my trans. it actually worked, getting the axleshaft done on monday

[colman]

i thought that you were gonna sell it cause you needed something more dependable

[TdmayfieldIV]

Well, my parents might be moving to germany this summer, so i'll be driving this
