Off Road Bumper Project

Recommended Posts

I pulled a grill guard off a junkyard Isuzu pickup. Its the perfect width to wrap around the front of the car. Really lightweight too. only about 20 pounds

 

Gonna modify it to replace the the plastic bumper and throw on some extra lights. I also want to incorporate a skid plate into the front to protect the now exposed radiator.

 

Pics when i get home!

Still a lot of stuff missing. Bracing and such

 

you know that it isnt gonna protect against trees,rocks,stumps,etc but it will protect against tall grass.
I am aware of that. The upper thing is mostly for looks.

 

And doors of other cars. :D

I would narrow it a few inches so it doesnt stick out so far.

 

The width could cause it to get caught up more off road, but will prob offer better protection for the side markers too. Overall, not a bad fit, for being non-stock. I likes it! :banana:

It's not done.

 

I cleaned off the rust and put on a coat of paint today. :banana:

 

I get paid on Friday, so i will get more steel to make a guard for the lower portion. I'm thinking some steel pipe that will fit underneath and wrap around the sides of the front of the car.

I don't know if the front plate is even required? The back's the only one that gets tabs.

 

id worry more about turn signals
