i got bored in my piping class so i decided to play with my truck. its not to scale because i could not go measure it but i will re do it to scale so i can start bending and building

 

Looks pretty good.

Are you going to incorporate a winch mount in it?

The only thing i can suggest is more points that tie into the frame. Maybe another bracket on each side.

 

i probably could do a winch on the middle if i knew what it will look like to tie it in. 4 points of connecting arent enough?

 

oh i guess you cant see the attach points. there are two that go into the frame and two that mount onto the mounts where the bumper mounts in

 

i know the brackets are wrong and ill change that on my final one.

 

oh i didn't see those. That should be plenty.

I have the TG winch bumper and there is some good moutnign points, and its somewhat similar to that one..

Let me see if i can find a pic for you.

"edit"

You can somewhat see how it mounts. The front bolts and then there is spots on teh side..

 

yeah that would be pretty easy to do.

 

Hey nice work nomiss! What kind of software do you use for that? Pretty slick. I was thinking some kind of CAD/CAM or animation software...is it designed especially for piping? Must be a great class!

 

I know someone sells the winch mount plates to build a bumper off of..

Thats what I would start with..

 

thats done on Inventor by Autodesk. the piping class is boring thats just a normal cad class. i didnt pay attention to lecture at all.

 

Hey where you located in CA?


I think it looks like a killer bumper, i don't like the idea of 4 lights though. I think it would look a lot cleaner with just the two inside the stinger or none at all but thats just in my opinion of course.

 

thats easy to change though i just have 4 lights so i put them on. im in the valley.

 

Which valley ?

Im in a valley as well but I know theres more then this one

 

im in bakersfield. hot. dry. boring.

 

Hah, were just nosy, Not trying to pry..

But yeah, Temecula is pretty much the same way.

ps, Good luck on the bumper build, My cajones havent dropped far enough to start one..

 

i have a buddy who just told me if i get it done up right and finish it off the right way with the right measure ments and buy the tube that he will build it for me... score

 

Lucky bastard

 

Well you are in CA, and i was looking for more people to wheel with..

You are way far down south compared to me.
Lets see that bumper built!

 

this guy is cool. he just likes to see younger guys off roading and wants to help them. his only rule is. if he builds it for you, you have to use it. he doesnt fab stuff so somone can go lift a truck 8 " and just have it look "cool" he wants to see if used.

 

sounds like a fair deal! lol

Guy sounds cool. Have it built and then go wheelign with the guy
