Thats overkill, so is DOM if you are not racing. Save money and use mild.

Re: "Prerunner" Titan's

^^ Agree with Kartman. That's all I was going to get for my bumper was mild steel. Now I just need to find a welder/fabricator to do it for me. lol

Re: "Prerunner" Titan's

If you need a good front bumper made try desolate motorsports in whittier. Greg does great work at even better prices.

Re: "Prerunner" Titan's

I want to put some prerunners on my titan, but I want to make them out of steel, not like the fiberglass fabrications out there. Has anybody on here tried that?

Re: "Prerunner" Titan's

What are you talking about? You want to put some pre runners, what is that? Are you talking pre runner fenders because thats not what makes a pre runner its the suspension, the ability to pre run a race. Why would you go though all the trouble to make bulged metal fenders when it is way quicker and cheaper just to buy some fiberglass?

Re: "Prerunner" Titan's

Repaired my bent frame yesterday, it took about 6 hours on the frame rack...The hitch and rear bumper were bent from the T/C so today starts "tube bumper/hitch day"...

First thing we'll do is fab the brackets that bolt onto the frame. I haven't decided on how I'll terminate the main tube ends, straight and capped, or run the tube out a bit with a small raduis bent in to run around the rear fenders...

The main tube will be either 2" or 1.750" .120" DOM...we have both...

New situation... I'm have some door damage repaired which in this case means painting to match, SOOO....this seemed like a good time to throw on some front glass and have them painted at the same time...you know to save some money...

My first pick for the fenders are IconDynamic FRP's....Seeking comments on fenders....

Couple of frame rack shots...
