My Homemade Front Bumper!

smokindawg

I've been working on the G1 for about a year or a bit more and it's changed many times since starting.

As it now sits it's running and driving pretty good so I'm working on the additions. Including the front bumper. I originally made it and while it looked pretty good and would do the job just fine I have recently made a change too it and have more in store for it. I want it to look and be beefy without being too awful heavy.

Here is how it started out.


Here are pictures of it as it sets after the work I did to it yesterday. I wanted a handhold of sorts so it would make it easier to get into the cart as high as it is as well.






I oritinally thought I'd add a rack on front but may not now. Other plans are too cut the pipe off where it sits back past the wheel well. I need to do this so I can add the flares I have. I also plan too add another pipe below the first so I have a double pipe bumper and I also have a 2000lb winch to put on, so have to build a winch mount as well. Should look pretty good when I'm done.

I made all the bends with a Harbor Freight bender. I've now converted the bender to work on my wood splitter and it makes bending pipe a snap now and quick and easy as well. I'll post pics of the conversion if anyone wants to see it as well.

Yea I was lucky on the find. I was getting some parts from the scrap yard for the tow behind cart I'm building and while waiting on the guy I saw that sitting on a shelf waiting to be scrapped. Whoever had it obviously ran into something, if you look closely at the passenger side you can see a crinkle in the tube. But it still lined up and bolted in so I'll take it.
