Your usin 1/4" steel plate on a bumper for a Ranger. Why build a perfectly good bumper and then cut holes it

 

What did that bumper weigh Logan?

Think I smell a fib...

 

never said the bumper was 1/4 inch, the sheet steel i used on the bumper was 1/8, all my bars was 1/8th 2x2 square stock, i had too for cooling, it would get hot driving down the freeway so i had to cut holes......weighed about 70 pounds if that when i was partially done.....

i was going to cut it off at the angled braces and 45* it down to where the skid late and the lower cross bar met, i used the stock mounts for the time being, i should of cut them off and flipped them around so the bumper wouldnt move so much in the stock mounting holes, it would of locked against the frame, i dont have any pics of the ranger with it on unfortunately, i will be building another identical but better one to it once i get the ranger down here and get it lifted...

 

Were just shittin with ya anyway Logan, but ya would be interested to see any pictures.

 

i never got any unfortunately, i should of, but like i said, im building another once i get it lifted......i got the lift setting here beside me 5.5 inches, the truck and tires in ohio, wheels at a buddies house, body lift is all i got to buy......putting 38x15.50x15's under it and it will be a mall crawler til i can put full size axles under it.......im cutting all the sheetmetal out under the factory fender flares for the added clearance.........I WILL FIT 38'S.......plus i am building removable doors too so i can be cool like the jeep girls......

 

I used to do that with my old Blazer. Pulled the top, the doors and tailgate off and run around like that all summer. That way at least I knew there were a few parts I would'nt screw up.

 

i want to get rid of the bed all together and just put tubing......

 

Youre already cool like Jeep girls..

 

no cause its a jeep thing and i really dont want to catch it......
