love your work man. Good vids. This is my truck too. Might save up and have you build me one some day. And you get a superior approach angle with this custom bumper. This is exactly what I want.
Hey dude I love the finished product, honestly the most satisfying part was the plasma cutter ... lowkey jealous of it lol But ah I was curious if you would be willing to share the Measurement of the steel and bends and what size steel and tubing you used.
Hey Jeremy. Thanks for watching the video. I don't have the measurements kept on hand unfortunately. Most of my bumpers are one off so it's not typical that I have the same measurements every time. Depends on what the customer is looking for. I forgot what size I did this one out of. Smallest I would do is 1.75" x .120 wall tubing. I've started doing all of them out of 2" now though. I think it looks better. Especially on a full size. I always do 2" on full size. Sometimes midsized trucks would be 1.75". Ive moved away from that now
Ohhhh perfect outline to follow. Thinking of doing a similar fabrication except adding a stinger above the skid plate. What kind of pipe and what size were u using? Would 1 1/4” rigid pipe be good?
I wouldn't use pipe. These are made out of tubing. You can use 1.75" or 2" tubing and use 1/8" wall thickness. You can use mild steel, DOM or chromoly. Honestly for a street truck, mild steel is fine. Heck, I even used mild steel on my race truck bumpers but if you got the cash, doesn't hurt to get the better stuff. Now I wouldn't ever use mild steel on a cage or anything meant for structure. For a bumper, it's fine.
Trifecta Offroad oh ok yeah I have a chevy silverado 2000, that sounds good! I’ll look into those sizes was the skid plate mild steel too? And a MIG welder would be okay to use? Thanks for the info, and solid build man🤙🏾

Hey Awsome build, I’m looking for a custom bumper for my f-150 I want something just like that, I know this was two years ago so I dont know if you still do this but I live some what nearby and I was just looking for a price range, I dont know much about fab work with cost of metal and labor but just wondering
hey bud sweet build. What kind of tube bender is that?.. At my job once in a while I run into something that needs bending.. but looks great for garage builds.
infowarrior1999 what's up buddy. The bender is a jd2 model 32 bender. I got the hydraulic option. For the longest time, I was using a manual bender and it was one option lower called the model 3. I built a ton of bumpers and a full race truck off the manual one. It works super well. The only advantage this bender has over my old one (besides me being lazy and having hydraulic) is that this one can do thicker tubing. The pins for all the tooling are much larger than the model 3. You can definitely get by with a model 3 no problem.
I appreciate the quick response. That's exactly what I am looking for. Your tundra bumper is sweet!.. I have some folks who want some bumpers for their rigs.. you might be the guy who can take care of that.
infowarrior1999 right on. Thanks for the compliment. I'm located in Southern California, temecula area. I do this stuff on the side. My main gig is real estate but if I have time, I'm always down for some projects.
Hey Richard, I have done quite a few bumpers for that year truck. Check out my instagram. instagram.com/johnnysellssocal. I'm located in Southern California. Canyon Lake to be exact. I just do these projects out of my garage. I don't own a shop or anything.
make sure you disconnect the battery before welding, chance of killing the electrical system... just a heads up he might have got lucky but that is an expensive bumper if you gotta replace the whole wiring system too
Logan Walker yeah. I usually do but I must be one lucky son of a bitch. In my racing days, I never disconnected the batteries when welding and especially if we ever had to do welding in the pits, it never happened. As long as you have the ground close to where you are welding and not having run from one frame rail to the next, then I think it lessens your chance. I've welded on countless vehicles with no issue ever. But to secede to your comment, you are 100% right.
@@trifectaoffroad oh yeah no doubt, I know that alot of people dont but I know it's something I do at my work when we are building firetrucks just a healthy tip to exercise great video sweet bumper looks great!
@@trifectaoffroad that's what they always taught us in school about welding on vehicles with the battery hooked up, just like most things in life it's totally fine until one day it's not 😂 great video though, keep it up man! You obviously have talent.
Hey, I actually might be able to. The main bumper would be tough but I do have files for frame plates that you would have to weld together. I can cut those out for you if you needed it. You can contact me through instagram. My profile name is JohnnySellsSoCal
@@trifectaoffroad no my friend I'm located in North of Texas but your video gives too me goods ideas... just trim the plastic bomper and weld direct to the frame..but...i don't know how tall I cut it ?? Is a 2001 explorer sport (2doors) 3 in. Lifted on 31's m/t tires... Tanks for responding me..
Marciano Verde watch my tundra video. I used some masking tape to mark the lines. If the bumper is plastic, cut a little below the masking tape line with a cut off wheel and then use a portable belt sander to get a nice clean straight line. Just cut high enough to expose the frame rails. Should be good to go from there. I know somebody in Fort Worth if you need a bumper built for you. He does great work
I don't have any measurements from the bumper when I built this one. Honestly, it would probably be slightly different per truck depending on how far or close you have the bumper to the truck, etc.
Jesus Cervantes 1 3/4" x .120 wall round tubing. Aluminum is 5052 10 gauge. Steel is regular mild steel. If it was a race vehicle, I'd do some DOM tubing or chromoly. And skid plate for race would be thicker like 3/16" and 6061 grade

What thickness or gauge is the skid plate? Looking good man great job
Its 1/8" 5052 aluminum. If this was going on a race truck or something you were gonna be bashing offroad, I would probably go thicker for sure.
looks good! are you still making them for the s10?
What size plate do you use as caps for the frame hole? Great job. 👍👍
Usually 1/8" is adequate. I've done 3/16" at times. 1/8" is almost what I use every time. It's the same thickness as the frame usually
