Alright... My dad is a welder for BP so i got him to help me out with a custom Ranchand style rear bumper. We started out with a 4" pipe 1/4" thick split in the center, and the pieces in the center are made with 1/4" plate steel that he pressed the angles into at his shop. The holes for mounting the license plate, License plate lights and 6 prong outlet were made with a press. All the rest like the diamond plate trim i cut with the torch and i've done most of the welding. Onto the pics: Fitting up the diamond plate Cut the end pieces, end caps tacked on test fitting side view tacked on diamond plate tacked on The lights are still visable! Me welding the top plate on Almost there(i know inconsistant welds, only been welding for a year) Stopping point for the day I just need to finish up welding the bottom after school tomorrow then i can start sanding and paint it black and mount it by saturday. I'll take more pics when it's mounted
looks good so far. i would have put some light cutouts in the back of it and idk about the sides that wrap around the truck.
