Sweet! A 100mph front porch! All that's missing is a roll-out awning for family picnics in the shade.

How many hours do you think you have into that bumper? The thing looks better than any other commercially made one. Very impressive.

well, theres hours, and then work time.
i would estimate it at 6 hours of solid work
i cant even begin to think about how long i thunk it.
i had the recovery points cut out from a friend.
i have about 500 bucks into it. excluding attachments.
the thing i spent the most time on was the holes, all drilled with a hand drill..
diamond plate is a *****.
my arm still hurts from them.

im still not done with it.
i will most likely spend another 4 hours on it after i get it off the truck.

the winch plate needs more bracing, and then it goes on to final welding the RSK then.....


i should make a template
glad you guys like it!

So what did you ever figure out on that issue @jhenegh ??

Nothing exactly. Between towing, a bit of Snowplowing, having 55 gallons of fuel capacity now and winter fuel I more measure my consumption in gallons/hour or gallons/month this time of year lol.

Carry on with the painting... I'm done

You cut out the area where the newer emblem goes, at the top rear of the front fender. Am I wrong?

It's the coming trend. Instead of tailgate parties, we can now have bumper parties!

THANKS!!!!
i forgot all about the aluminum bench i have.
i do believe it would slide in between the recovery points!

Now for some sort of engine-heat grille for the burgers and dogs!!!

I'm sure you can come up with a fuel burning cooktop to plug in.


If you can believe it, I built one bigger years ago. It doubled as a weight bracket. Polished the stainless to to. It was picnic table sized. [emoji15]
