Exo would be too expensive for him and he lacks a bender.
Keep it simple. Bumper first.
Not sure what you mean here...other supports in addition to the diagonals?Originally posted by matt
you might bring some supports down from the top bar to the outer side of the existing bumper plate. i think this would strengthen it up a lot and keep any possible bendage down while one end or the other gets slammed on rocks.
do you mean to put like a trapezoid 1/4" plate in the middle, with lights set in holes?Originally posted by stx4wheeler
i would get some metal plate and weld in the middle on your design eris and cut out holes for lights, to make it look a little better
, and damn that first winch bumper is bling blinging.
RedFoxx...not up for an exo yet, but keep it comin'

I think it loooks good. Let me dig up a pic of a bumper you might want to model it after.
I was actually gonna talk to you about using your welder because i'll be working on a winch bumper here pretty soon. This is what i was looking at.
and Ryan; what I really need to do is make another bracket that angles those 1/2" supports up 45* I can bash on them all day and they won't slide up a rock. there's about 5# of electrodes holding them on, though...so maybe on the next attempt!
well i probably wont bend it. I'll cut - heat - bend and reweld.
South Texas Style....
It wont look as good, but oh well.
Thanks for offering the use of your welder.
ah good old south texas inginuity. that crap brings uo all kinds of bad memories from home.
WEll on the plate i said for the front it would be that heavy if you use fairly light weight stuff, or maybe diamond plate, and as for the radiator air flow, the stock bumer would hinder about as much as my idea would, and since he isnt trying to cool some huge powerbeast of a motor he would be fine.
He who dies with the most **** wins, after seeing your collection you are in the lead no doubt!

You talkin' smack? My 22r-e is like a big block for ricers!Originally posted by stx4wheeler

aint nuthin' wrong with homebuilt stuff. If there was something wrong with homebuilt stuff wed all be driving around with stockers with lockers. If i didn't build my truck in my buddies barn...i'd still be rolling around on 31" ATs with my 2" body lift w/IFS...dont dog the homebuilt stuff.Originally posted by stx4wheeler

As for the bumper...its a lightweight design anyway. A little heavy metal wont hurt it.

I just want to assure myself that my v8 swap was a good idea.
But mine's still a Toyota
Sure...I'll put my three-fiddy up against yoursOriginally posted by Violentv8toy

At least then you could drive it!If i didn't build my truck in my buddies barn...i'd still be rolling around on 31" ATs with my 2" body lift w/IFS...dont dog the homebuilt stuff.
well you can get thin diamond plate just like they use on tool boxes and stuff, and it isnt that heavy, and for the recordi wasnt bashing homebuilt stuff, i have seen lots of stuff back home that should have never been done like pieces of 2x4 used as 6 in lift blocks front and rear, 8 inch welded metal body lifts, shackles that looked like snow ski's, all kinds of crap. eric just go at that ting and make something like your original post, and once your welding skills, and metal fab skills have progressed make something new.

I had a bed lift made of hockey pucks...but I cut it off
PS I'll follow up with the final product...a few weeks
ugly fab front bumber start
