Are you referring to the baby or the bumper?

lol! That was my thought as well


Well, I could have made an ugly box bumper like many do... no thanks.


I could have made bigger pieces and bent them to the shapes I wanted but I don't have an easy way of bending the metal accurately and consistently. So lots of pieces welded together was my best option.

no offense, I like yours, but I prefer tube bumpers. For me its always looking to lighten it up a bit.

to each there own. I hate tube bumpers, plus the requirements we have would means it'd look even worse for it to be legal

Was able to play in the garage for a couple hours today.


I was able to place the bumper on the blazer briefly to make sure everything is lining up like I was hoping, and I'm pleased to say it looks just about perfect so far.














Also started on the winch plate. I will be clocking the lever on the winch towards the bumper to be able to access it through the hole on the front.
