A fabricators 80 series expedition build (1 Viewer)

[RDC76]

This is currently in the 80 section. But maybe I should have put it here based on the direction of the build.
Here's the link to the 80 section https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/a-fabricators-80-build-starting-with-the-front-bumper.856499/
And here's a pic of the bumper I just built for it. Please check out the details on the build if your interested. There are a few features found on my bumper that the people in this section might like. Feel free to leave feedback and suggestions.

The unpainted bits are stainless steel.

That is one of the nicest cleanest bumpers I've ever seen. Well done; I've been following in the 80 series.
Looking forward to see how this comes out.

Clean bumper. Curious what the little eyebrow piece on the DS front of the bumper is used for?

Thanks. That piece is a machined stainless bottle opener

What is the purpose of those rectangular holes in the front bumper? Recovery points?

You are correct! Those are my multi functional recovery points that I put on most of my bumpers if space allows. Here are some pics. You can also use them as a receiver for other accessories. One example would be hammock pole mounts. Here are some pics

Here you can see different shackle orientations. For side pulls,looping chain or straps. As well as high lifting. The pockets also except a factor 55 Prolink.

I also relocated the stainless bottle opener to under the driver side wing. It functions better under there and doesn't spill a drop now when opening.

 

[GLTHFJ60]

Wow, I really like those.

Build a rear bumper....

 

[cwwfj60]

great stuff man! that integrated shackle mount is awesome, great idea! and I second the rear bumper idea, interested in what kind of cool ideas you'll come up with back there.

 

[RDC76]

Thanks again guys! As you can see now I've decided to sign up as a supporting vendor. After now selling 6 of these bumpers to members on here and expedition portal I decided it was time. a formal intro and a little background will follow shortly in the vendor section. Also I have been recently commissioned to build a rear bumper possibly two. One fully loaded and one with a removable swing out. So yes... The rear bumper is coming soon. thanks again for all the positive words on my work. I also have a 60 series and just purchased a 3rd gen 4unner as I've gotten quite a few bumper requests for those. I'm also a dealer for zero dark lighting as well as factor 55.

Yup, nicest bumper I've seen on an 80! J
