Ok so I have all this in my build thread for the truck but a friend was telling me he was trying to show someone pix of my truck and could not find them google searching so I got thinking I would make a thread for each bumper to help google searchers find different bumper builds

So im just copying and pasting from my build

I started on this last weekend but ran out of wire for the welder and this weekend I have my little girl so I will not be working on the truck this weekend but the winch mount is just getting started and it's all 1/4"

both sides

pass side

driver side

I used chassis saver to prime the bumper and I'll be spray painting it tommarow I want to let it dry good first but I'm still waiting on the lights to come in so I can make the mounts and do the cutout then I'll coat it with something better than paint but here are the ones with the chassis saver

Well I could not help myself so I got home at midnight from work and got the first coat of black on

I can't find my other shackles I think I put 2 of them in the wife's jeep and gave my other 2 to my brother for his jeep so I guess I got to get some more

Only problem with me making one of the templates I have is it will be wider because I made mine wider then my glass fenders and I made it to compensate for the 1.5" body lift but if someone close by wants one and can mock up on a stock truck I could make templates for one to fit regular trucks

And thanks guys

i would be very interested in mocking up one of those templates for my truck. i dont have the widebody kit either. i just started flux welding. will flux weld hold up or do i need to look into a MIG?

Looking good MOZ

Sailor not sure what welder your using but some of the 110 flux welders can be converted to mig cheep , I would recommend it , gives you cleaner results

If you guys are interested I could trace my foam board templates onto paper and mail them to you then you could put them on cardboard to readjust them to not be so wide

Let me know

MOZ I sent yours today and the others that have requested templates and I said I'll send you them , I'll get them made as soon as I get a free moment

Anyone else that asks for some I'm going to ask that you send me $3.00 to cover postage of the paper templates , I feel wrong charging for a pices of paper but if I keep getting request like I am now I'll try and get someone to help me get some prints made for online that way I can just email them for free but until then I'll just do some on paper in the mail

Mods if this s a problem let me know but I'm not making profit
