so i cut this also.

NICE! But how are you going to mount it?

I us 2 - 1/2" pieces of angle welded together and punched with a hole so you end up with a "T" that can be bolted to bang near anything.... Bt your is much cooler looking!

Flashy! How in the christ did you cut it? I'm good with a torch, but not that good.

And if you can't/don't want to make it you can always buy them at a store that deals in hydraulics:

Princess Auto - It's a Canuck thing. Found the same items at the UFA for $4.99 each as well. Not even worth my time making them (Unless I am at work)

I got a 3" square bumper so I'm going to weld it on.

I cheated, it was a CNC burner that runs on tracks.
Set the speed per minute and the proper torch tip
It was cut with propane, not acetelene.

Hey Fabricator what tips are you using for propane? I have tried oxy propane and not good results

 

[Bones]

Slick, check yer PM's

 

[fabricator]

am using Propane tip
there is different size tips for different thicknesses of metal
here is a example;

I got a 3" square bumper so I'm going to weld it on.

On my bumper (bought it) it is welded to a 6"x4" peice of plate, and a hole was put in the bumper, clevis-thingie slipped through, and the plate welded to the inside of he bumper, and the the clevis-thingie welded where it comes through the front of the bumper. Might be a little stronger

I've got oxy-propane hand torches. They work well on thick stuff, in thin stuff I find I have to preheat too long and it makes it hard to cut, rewelds together easily.

I solved it by buying a plasma cutter thats good to 5/8"

looks good, but it's pretty short, i mean it'll only allow you to weld it to the surface of the bumper,
here is a pic of a bumper i have built, i ran the stock through the bumper and welded it to the front and back.

this is a pic of the back of the bumper, there is a hole torched all the way through, to allow it to be welded front and rear.

I did something like that this summer when I built my rear bumper. I wanted to have the clevis mounts on the back and figured that I could make them srtonger if I cut a hole threw the pipe and ran the plate straight threw and used the back side as the frame mounts.
Here is what is looked like when I was working on it. I used 1/4 inch plate and then where the clevis bolted up on the outside I welded another peace of 1/4 inch plate to the side of it for a little extra streight. Here is a pic of what it looks like now. I havent had a chance to try out the clevis' or the reciver so I dont know if it was a wise idea or not but hey you never learn if you dont try.
