Custom/Homemade Bumpers Anyone?

[pauly383]

Front bumper just has six bolts , 3 on each side . Rear bumper has 3 bolts , 2 each side , plus the tailgate spring bolt each side . Then the rear also has the kickers to the frame . Matt az-k5 made these . And counting the time on his rig and mine , has been winched , beat , pounded , tugged , and smashed numerous times

pics in order front , rear , rear kickers .

Niice!!

Who did your bumpers? Was it local or a CK5 Vendor? If you did these yourself... I say quit the day job and start selling those bumpers

Here's my front I built a year and a half ago, and a link to that thread. My rear is currently in progress (link posted above). I'll post finished pics in a week or two when I get back to the shop.

I love this front bumper. It is just sweet.

The front is a kennisaw Mtn Wincher and the rear was built by a local shop.

Ok, first I want to say "What an original idea for a thread. It has never been done before."

Now that that's out of the way, here's mine

Almost Done:

And the finished Product:

Chev4Life, I like the side angle cut on the rear bumper. A nice compromise for off-road / street driving

So what size of spare tire do you guys have mounted?

I want to put a 37" tire on a swing out arm but I'm also concerned with being able to look out the back window for highway driving. I'll drop the tire below the top of the bumper to gain some room but I'm also wondering how much room I should give the clevis mounts & tow hitch

Its not mine (i wish)...its Blue85's.

Here is my homemade bumper.

 

[Blue85]

Big83Chevy4x4 built this for me. We worked together on the design, using the 4WDmetalworks one as a starting point.

The overall look is a compromise between the tapering bumpers, and the large straight sheet-of-steel types.

I still need a 14" drop hitch so I can tow stuff, though.

Nice!

This is the rear I just finished last week. I still need to build the front.

 

[hammermachine]

Nice bumpers

I'm building my own tire carrier and bumper now, it's a real tricky being a novice and all. Thanks for posting what your sporting, it gives me hope and ideas.
