Well I was on my second stock bumper and then that one got all bent up. So I decided that was enough. For what I spent on the second bumper I could have built my own for alot less. So I got some 1" square tubing 3/8" wall. With my tube bender I copied the stock for the most part. The only thing I'm going to change is the head light protectors. After doing them I think they go up at to much of an angle so I'll cut those off and just come straight out then back down at an angle.
This thing is very solid. I uses 3/8" wall diamond plate for a new skid plate under the front diff. And then added 1/4" wall plate to protect the lower control arms better.
If I get bored and build another one, I'll go with 1 1/2" square tubing.
I've already drilled out holes for my PIAA lights that I run during the winter for pushing snow.
