    Well i got started on my bumper today!

    holy hell is it alot of work, but gotta love it lol
    Started out with a flat chrome rig bumper that my boss gave to me...figured that would work perfect. Thank god for the plasma cutter or i woulda been there all day!
    still needs alot of work!

    This is what i started with...sorry for the bad pics.

    Looks pretty good, and its homemade so you get some satisfaction out of it..
    You gonna make a brush guard on it too?

    Not sure yet. depends on how good of a job i do. If it looks nice enough i think im gonna have it rechromed....because no one, that ive seen has had a chrome homemade bumper. So why not be the first in my book.
