I’m thinking about fabricating some new bumpers as a way to save some money and get some experience with welding. I’m planning on keeping them pretty slim and low profile. I was hoping to get some ideas from some of y’all’s bumper builds and see if y’all have any tips or tricks to share. So let’s see some bumpers!

I haven’t seen any other threads like this on here but if there is one feel free to just share that link.

This guy did a pretty nice job of using the stock front bumper. I removed my Garvin front bumper in favor of a cut stock bumper and love the weight savings.

That video is the one that gave me the idea to make my own! I am planning on doing something like that with my front to save some weight as well.

It also inspired me to get out the angle grinder. Ended up with a 9.1lb bumper. I started to make end caps but didn't want to unpack my welder. I just used some JB steel stick to fill in the holes before spray painting it. Eventually I'll switch it out with a Savvy.
