Re: CUSTOM BUMOER IS ON AND BRIGHT AS HELL!!
nice work!
I have been contemplating doing something similar in fiberglass, trim and streamline like the Euro-bumpers, and much lighter too.

Re: CUSTOM BUMOER IS ON AND BRIGHT AS HELL!!
did you by any chance weigh it? wonder how much weight it saves. I should weight the stock one (I have one I can weigh). I would think I could make a fiberglass one that weighs well under ten lbs.

Re: CUSTOM BUMOER IS ON AND BRIGHT AS HELL!!
hey everyone thanks for the input! weighs about 26lbs with the light bar and signals.. I never weighed the stock bumper but it wasn't light.. I was actually quite surprised. I have installed new strut inserts but still stock coils and no more sag then normal.. I never posted to much build info on it..I was keeping it a secret! sorry boys. I only have a few photos of the build since I got a new computer and lost all my photos here are a few of the build, used thinker steel up front and a little thinner on the sides and bottom.. all in all its a wicked bumper, about 50000 lbs less then a ARB and looks much better.. and fits haha.

How about a night-time photo from inside with and without the light bar activated?
It's nice to see a North American T4WD with a chin!
