Default Rear Bumper Mock Up

Spent the weekend mocking this up, stock bumper is all but rusted out. Thought I'd throw it out there to see what people thought. Pretty excited about it my self. Ill hopefully have it built in a few weeks once I get the steel and have the pieces cut out for me.

I Also threw this up in General thread i was part of. But here it is again in fab only because im really proud of how its turning out

Long time coming, but I finally burnt this thing together over the weekend. And truth be told, I never touched a welder until Saturday morning. (I think I caught on pretty quickly) Now time for the grinder to make it "pretty". And finish the end caps and hitch receiver.

Alot of people are scared to try. Good to see you getting out there and just doing it. Thats how i taught myself. And im not ashamed to say, i can weld pretty good. Not pro but not a noob either. Lol
