Front bumper ideas?

twentyfootdaredevil · 01-06-07, 01:06 PM

So here is what I did to my poor truck. I am looking for input on what I should do for afront bumper/winch mount. I dont want it to extend beyond my framerails too much.

This is only a reference shot of how much I have left up front...there will be alot more tube work and I plan to cut down some frontfenders and make this look real clean. But im alot better at tearing the sheetmetal up on the trails then I am making it look nice and purty

This is kinda what ive been working on for the front fenders. I have thought about sectioning two fenders to strech it out and make the body lines look good. Do you guys have any suggestions here?

Just wanted to throw in a driveway shot. This rig went from this shot to beat all to hell in just acouple of trips well actually one LBL trip then Interlake trail clearing took care of the rest of it.

Are you looking to get rid of the chrome Smittybilt? If it'd fit 2nd generation, I might be interested.

look at the first pic. that looks like the remains of the chrome smittybuilt.

as for the bumper, bow it out in the front, stop it just past the frame rails, and run it up along the bottome of the fenderlines w/ a crossbar over the cowl
