bumper build question

[midnightblue]

so i build this bumper for my truck. im pretty undecided weather to do a pre-runner bar or not. it sorta looks boring the way it is now, but i think it will look better once i get my light holes cut out, and my 3/4 inch D ring mounts welded on and the license plate mounted on it. any thoughts?

definitely dont have the means to bend 3 inch pipe.

What kind of bar are you wanting to build? I have a prerunner bar on mine that's made using 3/4" pipe I believe. Here's some inspiration.

im talking about what was posted above. your pre-runner looks great, but i dont see it stopping a deer at 80 mph without any bends.

sweet looking already but still should add one i think wish i could make one like that

I would make one out of 1 or 1 1/4" DOM and copy something like 90chevstepside.... but only take it up about half way on the grille (in terms of height)

sick bumper btw... really nice work cant wait to see finished pix

well work was canceled today due to the bad weather, so looks like ill have all day to weld on this sucker! here is the one i built for my duramax. it has the pre-runner. i still dont want to have to go buy pipe and have to go to harbor freight and get a pipe bender, so i will probably save the bar for very last before i totally decide to do one.

Anything much less than 3" just looks too small. If it's just going to bend if it's bumped, why use anything.

the one above is 1.5 inch pipe and comes out to 2 inch O.D. hit a deer and push broke down cars around with it and its held up great. schedule 40.
