Hi All,
I bought myself a HF pipe bender and decided to try it out by making my first bumper. Its made out of Schedule 80 pipe, 1 1/2" I.D. for the main horozontal bar and 1" i.d. for the hoops. I was able to scavange the pipe from a friends place, the stuffs been laying out in the weather for a few years. It's not in the greatest condition but will serve it's purpose as a ranch beater. I also made new bumper brackets out of angle iron.
What additions do you guys think I should make to it? I think I'll get some diamond plate to cover the lower hoop. I was thinking I might need extra bracing on the upper hoop?
Thanks,
