For stage two that is. Stage 3 consists of a winch and some plating.

lol how much would you charge to make someone one of these ?

LOL, sorry, no mass production. I would gladly sell the design to a company so they could mass produce it though.

I spent a little over $100 on material to make it. Tube is cheap. The labor is what will get you.

The one on the left was done up with an M-249 and a SOG. The one on the right was done up with some beretta semi auto mp5 look alike.

Hey that looks really great. What size of tubing is that? It's the perfect size. I like it. It's always a great feeling to complete something like that with your own bare hands. Could you maybe take some pics from different angles?

I used 95% 1 3/4" .120 wall. I can take some pics when I get a chance this weekend. I'm crazy busy at work and other projects.

i wish i had your bumper this morning.. i was pissed on my way to work and scoped out some nice targets.. trashcans.. i wanted to blast through them but then thought i'd probaby hurt something or add a dent to my bumper.. so i decided to just floor it up a hill and feel torque... instant smile

EVO8 · 08-31-2007, 08:43 AM

Looks awesome Mantis, love the new bumper. You want to make some just for TT members?

dumb question, is that bumper street legal? I know it was made for off road but could you get away with driving it to work?

I don't see why it wouldn't be legal. I didnt modify any of the crush zones or air bag sensors. I didn't cut anything off or weld anything onto the frame. I used mild steel instead of chromoly so it would crush in a crash. Is there a Governing body that has standards for bumper construction? I there are standards in place, everyone with bumpers from road armor, fab 4, warn, arb, etc will have a problem as well.
