Building a front bumper

[IHOlRed]

from my experience that center piece works wonders should a deer decide he wants to get in your way lol

Exactly why its there. keep a deer out of my grill. Its slanted enough to hopefully stop them from gettin to my windshield also. Any pulling on the bumper will be done from the d-rings on the front.

The fact that it looks cool doesn't hurt either. They are a decent place to mount lights and I have seen them save trucks from things other than deer. My friends suburban almost got impaled by an I beam but it hit the middle tube and creased it instead of the smashing through the grill and radiator.

I'm a freak for building your own custom bumper. I usually start with 6" Channel and build off of that. Your pic from DP magazine is way cool. 8,000lb single line pull should be your minimum but hey, Lug-All come-a-longs have gotten me out of some bad spots so anything connected to the batteries is a plus. Cant wait to build mine for my '91. Your fit and finish are awesome. That thing may fend off a Camry, never mind the deer.
