Looking for '96 Truck bumper ideas/Pic's - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

BlancoBronco · 05-27-2009, 11:09 PM

I just bought a '96 C350 & I'm thinking about ideas for some custom bumpers..

I'd probably prefer a desert race style with a skid plate...
But I'm open to all designs..

So please post your Pic's.

Protofab makes a nice bumper for that truck, you could add a prerunner style hoop to it also. http://www.protofab4x4.com/products.php?ID=00&ID2=4

I'm still looking for ideas.
Heck I'm even considering a simple pre-runner style bolt on to my bumper so I could at least run some lights..

Like This one.

bigbroncojeff · 06-01-2009, 03:51 PM

you going full custom Cam or bolt on?? I like this one... there is a lot of crap hidden by the stock 92-96 bumpers so it can be difficult coming up with something that looks great...

have a ton more pics of this one and others in my bronco "inspirations" folder on photobucket http://s42.photobucket.com/albums/e3...uff/?start=140

Hey Jeff how you been?
Hope all is well..

Thanks for the link.
Theres some good Pic's on that link.
Uhmmm I want bolt on.

Full custom can be bolt on.
I designed this one for my Pre-Runner & its a bolt on.

I kind wanna basically copy it, but I'm looking for ideas..
I kinda like the stock bumper with the pre-runner bar for how cheap & easy it would be yet still sort give it a slight look...

Too be honest I really hope I can keep control of myself on this one.

FABTECH Superduty Pushbar. The upper holes match, so if you weld on a flat plate you can just drill the bottom holes. The skid was at the wrong angle so I sliced the gusset, heated it and bent it up to the proper angle and rewelded it. As for the winch, if you take a 2x2 and a piece of flat plate and lay the 2x across the frame it makes the perfect deck for the winch. Then just bolt or weld and paint. Only problem is finding one, cause I think Fabtech quit making them.

wahlstrom1 · 06-02-2009, 09:31 PM

I built this one a while ago... I would have added one more plate under the rear corners, but the owner didn't want it....crazy bitch....

yup. it's 4" schedule 20 pipe. the rest is 1/4" plate except for the tow points (3/8") which are the mounting points as well. i put some 1/8 wall square under the winch plate since it would flex when fitting everythign up. anything else you wanna know just ask.

Here's the best pic of mine that I got. Probably not the best for wheeling but it sure does good for pushing cattle and protects the front from all the deer that run out in front of me.

Sorry. I built it back in '01 and sold it in '04. I sold it when Ford went to coil springs at the end of '04. It had Hypermax Intercooler, Hypermax Turbo, Hypermax Chip (No Selectable Tunes Back Then), ZF 5 Speed w Centerforce Clutch, ORO 203/205 Doubler, ORU Shackle Reversal, Fiberglass Quarters and Bed Sides, FabTech Rebuilt Bumper, 12K Warn, 20" Stockton Wheels with 4" offset, 44 inch Michelin's, and '02 SVT Lightning Seats. I can't believe those are the only pics I had of it, cause that thing wheeled great, and I took it Hollister quite a few times too.

I think the pre-runner or stinger would look sweet.
