Need some help on front bumper design

[bronc3buster842001]

Ok guys here are the plans for my bumper. Whicj would u chose. I like the second one.

I would prefer the second one if it were me, but it really is your decision. The second design is probably going to have more of an effect on approach angle, but should be a little more solid.

 

[bronc3buster842001]

Im not to worried about approach angle as this is mostly a street truck. Was just trying to find a way to cover as much as the orignal bumper did as Missouri goes buy bumper height.

 

[lectric80]

In that case, I would definitely go for the second design. It is going to lower your bumper height enough to help a little.

 

[bronc3buster842001]

Thats what i was thinkin. Now just to figure out where to mount some blinkers.

 

[lectric80]

If you go with the second design, you should be able to pick up a set of LED turn signal lights for pretty cheap at any trailer supply place. Then just mount them between the tubes.

On the second one, why not put another set of the orange spacers where the yellow support comes in and attach the yellow support to them? I'm thinking it would reenforce both main bumper tubes.

BTW: what software did you build this in?

 

[bronc3buster842001]

Im using Alibre Design.

 

[bronc3buster842001]

I like the revised one you put last. How about a rear to match? I would buy one if you ever start selling them, contact me at [email protected]

Dont have any plans on saleing it as it for an s10 and not a fullsize.My idea is from a fullsize version though so i guess i could change it around.

 

[bronc3buster842001]
