My Rear Bumper How-to
 
I have gotten alot of requests about who made my bumper, I did. So here is my how-to, This has been an extremely good bumpe to me and has held up to a ton of pulls and winch-outs without fail.

I used a plasma to cut out the angles on the c-channel, but a cut-off wheel, sawsall, torch or whatever would be fine too. I smoothed over all the welds with a 60grit sanding disc then primed and rattlecanned black.

I tapped all the license plate bolt holes with a 1/4-20 tap.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Very nice, clean, simple and fits the lines of the Blazer perfect IMHO.

How much did you spend in material?

Would you be interested in making another? :metal: For me! :lol:

I had a 20' piece of channel given to me from work, had the rest in scrap metal laying around, so i was only into both of mine for $40 worth of d-rings
