Default Anybody fabricate their own front bumper?

I feel like it’d be an easy thing to do. By means of welding or just bolting on a steel pipe. Any ideas?

i have but all I can find are the usual suspects- terafirma, novernorth, AB etc. yours is legit! Looks like you have some metal working background for sure.

id prob do something a lot simpler without a winch. Still want to keep my fog lights tho :/

I did. This was sorta the pre-build using free materials. I was gonna re-build it legit. Still will at some point.

Built my own front bumper out of scrap steel l had laying around at work. Started put with just the bumper, then added recovery points, winch plate, "Mad Max" brushguard and skid plate.



Added the two braces along turn signal housing...because I got tired of replacing them. Do a lot of driving through brush, dead falls and such up north.



It's been an evolution, just making changes and adding stuff as I go along. Need to someday finish the ends, so they wrap around the bottom of the fender more.

Brian.
