They just tweaked their design in the last few months. This is the bumper I ordered from T&T Customs earlier this year:

I'd have to say they knocked off mine then. Mine's definitely older then a few months.

BTW, this thread is for home brew bumpers, what are you doing posting a pic. of your over-priced store bought gem of a bumper?

Damn near every home brew bumper built some company has made one similair at one time or another.

FabJunky · 01-12-2010, 06:16 PM

Heres mine.. Front and rear built to match, out of fork lift fork extenders, everything basically 5/16" to 1/2" thick.. a few gussetts are 1/4".. Also the clevis tabs i made each out of 2 pieces of 1/2".

I cut out and bent the ends to go along the contour of the lower quarter. Yea i know ive got a gap between the bumper and tail lights. Fixin to fab up some tail light boxes inwhich will fill in that gap.. As you see i added a 2" reciever adapter to both front and rear for a remote winch bracket.

Here is mine. Simple eh? Worked pretty good too. Rear hitch to the front.

urbanmuddboger · 01-23-2010, 12:26 PM

well i finally got around to mounting my bumper and i also snaped a pic of how i mounted it, should be strong enough

beejers · 01-23-2010, 06:17 PM

built one on the cheap, took a bumper made for a 70's dodge and hacked the crap out of it and added a hoop.took like 17.5" out of the width and beveled the ends.

89eliminator · 01-24-2010, 08:41 PM

here is mine i just finished welding. it will be getting a hoop over the winch yet.

custom mounts

mikedashg · 01-25-2010, 01:13 AM

Chock my front bumper up to the "big winches sticking up front kills your approach angle" crowd.

FrankZ · 01-26-2010, 05:25 AM

I've been building these for a little while:

widmayer123 · 01-26-2010, 05:32 AM

4waysout · 01-26-2010, 06:13 AM

Still working on it. Needs a heavy duty skid plate welded to the bottom and then get it all painted.

All done with this BABY!!!

alteredxj · 01-27-2010, 02:28 PM
