Cool...did you gusset behind it too ?? Looks like one good hit, and it would buckle upward.
Cool looking though.
Although, I would build beefy bumpers that would double as air-tanks.[/QUOTE]
I gussetted it back under the frame for about 4 inches, and along the side of the framerail. I didn't do the upper, my thinking is that it is alot easier to replace the front bumper if it gets slammed harder then it should, then to replace the framerail under the suspension mounting points. I built the bumper on my truck the same way, haven't had any issues yet, and it survived a good front end stuff into a dune at about 40 that stopped the truck.
