Finishing up the 80 front bumper. I started on this last year for CruiserFest, but it never was completed. Now that I'm a ComeUp winch dealer I had to open the design up to receive a ComeUp 12.5, I imagine there are winches up to 16.5# that will fit in this bumper. I will offer this in a non-flare version as well.

Still a few things to finish up; recovery points and wing reinforcement backing.

Construction:

Center section all 1/4"
Frame plates 3/8"
Recovery points 1/2" ( tied into frame mounts)
Remaining shell 3/16"

Grill and Headlight protection 2" & 1-5/8" DOM

Shooting for 110-120# weight range

Grade 8.8 hardware will be included.

The rear bumper will have a 100% removable swingarm system. Yes, no spindles sticking out like a sore thumb with my new design..

A few pictures of the tacked up prototype.

Thanks all,

Jason

That looks great! I love the shortbus but this is lookin real good to me!

Any idea what the shipping on the bumpers is going to run? I love the front bumper but will probably be buying a rear bumper first as part of the planned upgrades. I guess if I can run into a deer sometime that would force my hand. Looking great!

Front bumper will be around 150$ shipping to a business addy.

That low pro rack is sweet but.......... is there an option for wire mesh across the bars ? I'm just thinking since I'd be sending my 7 year old up there to retrieve stuff, I don't want her putting dents in my roof ! You can PM me if you prefer. That looks like some really nice fab work on those pieces btw.

I can get a 2" x 2" wire grid or flattened expanded metal. I can get a price for the material tomorrow and let you know if you wish.

I would certainly be curious what it would add to the price. Thank you.

I'm gonna say with material and labor about 100-125$ and add about 20-25# as well

Started on the rear bumper. Basic shape is there. Need to trim and clip the ends. Will start to look like something tomorrow.

This unit will allow for the OE resonator to stay in place as well.

Decided to start with the NON-flare version. Tomorrow I'll build the passenger side as a flared unit.

This unit will have 100% removable swing arms.

Thanks,

Really like the looks of the rear bumper. The swingout does look very robust, however.

That's my standard swing arm for all my bumper builds.

Shopping for plugs in the plumbing section? Nice idea! You could offer chrome and bronze also!

I looked for months at different options. Most are not deep enough and will probably pop off in a few miles... These are a much deeper set (1/2" vs 1/8")

I may have missed it but what is the price on the front bumper?

Won't know for a few more weeks... around the 900.00 mark, pending the laser cutter quote.
