Started on my bumper today, right now all I've done is bought the steel, taken the stock bumper off and made one of the brackets to mount the new bumper. The plan is to have it look like this one except with recover hooks mounted underneath and no hitch.
As of this afternoon I have one bracket done so it looks like this. The outer bracket that runs back along the chassis and picks up on some extra bolt holes is 6mm, there will also be a 6mm angle bracket welded on to this and bolted to the front valance.
It will have about 6 bolts through it.
And the bumper looks like this, hopefully it wont end up looking like a piece of railway track strapped to the front
It will sit a little higher than this and there wont be a big gap between bumper and grill.
Total cost so far for steel, $56.
More tomorrow.
Cheers
Steve
