stinkydogfilms Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 Any suggestions? Should i do round or rectangle? I mostly want for offroading. how large diameter do you think? Where should i go to source materials? Would you show pics of the front and rear bumpers you have fabricated? Thank you and Merry Christmas and safe holidays to all!

81EA81 Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 I have a 4' long chunk of channel iron on my 84 wagon. It looks to be 4" X 1-1/2" X 3/16". Im sure it would be simple to build, but I got lucky and picked this up at a junk yard for $13 Nice and solid yet it almost keeps a stock look with the factory 80-82 wagon end caps on.
