I did a search and did not really find what i was looking for.. So i am asking for some pics of front bumpers made out of sq tubing. I say sq tubing because i like the look and my sliders are sq. However it looks like rd tubing looks better and might be eaiser to work with than sq. Any (constructive) help would be appricated! :D
Oh and i already have a JD2 bender.. so bending would not be a problem...

Hey thankx i guess not too many people run sq front bumpers..
IMHO - most square tube bumpers look :barf:
How about you get some plate, and make something similar to a TJM or ARB bumper except more low profile, and of your own design...
This one is pretty nice:

Check out my page for pics of mine. And I think most square tubing bumpers are stronger than round tube. Just my opinion.

I really like the look of plate and i might go that route. But since im pertty lazy and don't what to spend a whole lot of time with it, i will most likly just go with a dirt simple rd design. I want to keep the weight down and all i really need is some support to pull from. We will see what happens in a few weeks... Thankx for all the help...

I think which one is easier to make depends on your skills with a bender. For me a square one would be easier since I have fabbed so much stuff without a bender. I have one now and I am BRAN new to tubing work, so it would be easier for me to make a square bumper. Unless your pretty dang good with a bender I think a square one would be easier for most people to make.
That said (no offense boys) I dont like how square bumpers look.:D
