Here's mine in mock-up stage - designed & built by Keven Kirkegaard at WFO Concepts in Auburn, CA. Not gonna get a whole lot heavier-duty than this one I assure ya!!!

He's final welding it & smoothing it all out so the welds aren't visible. He's also planning to install a hidden recessed panel behind the license plate to hide my air chuck & jumper cable quick connects which will be nice!

Bump to top for my welding class.
Nothing new to add just getting this thread in que so I can show my class different welding and fabrication techinques.

Some more pics of my custom rear bumper. You can see the flip-up rear license plate & the air chuck & jumper cable quick connects behind it.

Here's the bumper installed on the truck finally. Think it came out really nice!!! You can see the flip up license that hides my air chuck & jumper cable quick connects.

Looks great!
Are you going to chrome it, powder coat it, paint it?

my4by2 · 06-16-2012, 09:53 PM

It's getting a semi-gloss black powder coat along with the other exterior fab'd items to match what we used on the frame & axles.

Those welds on that bumper are beautiful! The welder was very talented. But overall i like the style of the bumper and its not too extreme, it looks right at home on your truck. That was a great investment you made!
