    Tube Bumper ideas?

    My Step son agreed to build me some tube bumpers but only can bend 1.75 tubing....

    So I wonder what sort of ideas you have?
    I personally was think about just matching the ones on my Bronco...


    But wondered what you guys might be able to show me for ideas?

    Your in North L.A. and I'm in Southern Orange County. I have a tube bender that you can use if you feel like driving down. Bends up to 2 1/2" chromoly. Also have torches, plasma torch, and a Lincon Buzz Box.

    1.75" isn't very much for a bumper.
    2000 F250 5.4 249k miles. K&N filter.
    2001 F250 7.3 83k miles. Finally tuned DP Tuner, no start, 60 tow, 80 econ, 120 race, 140 agressive, airaid intake and magnaflow 4" turbo back.

    Its looks good on my Bronco. :)
    Its ok if you like the Desert Pre-Runner/Racer look.

    But He's not gonna charge me to build them & I'll get a center mounted hitch like I did on my bronco to pull me out when ever, if ever I get stuck.

    I was gonna go with 2" but he dont have a bender for that.
    & thats only a 1/4 inch more anyways..


    Can you guys post some pics?

    I like that idea!
    Might actually work well with a front hitch build in to give me a recovery point.
    Thanks for the idea! :)
