First major welding project--Deer proofed the front end

[Broncosaurus!]

strongly suggest using shaped plate, with gussets.

What do you mean? More attaching points or more surface area attaching to the frame?

... or more surface area attaching to the frame?

That... but like this



* That's a rear bumper, but you get the idea

i meant i would have a bigger bumper but he has tubing that comes around the front end.... he has basicaly the same set up for the actual bumper on the bottom ... i used 6x4x 5/16 square tubing for the bottom..... if that what ur askin

Made it to mow down trees, deer, construction barrels, small children, anything that gets in the way. 5/8 in grade 8 bolts in the front, and 1/2 in for the side mounts. Weighs a ton, 2x6in 1/4 in wall steel for the main spar and 3/16 in wall 1 in square tubing for the rest.

your in WI. and look'n for trails?

That bumper is awesome too. Mine is big enough that I can stand in the opening in the tubes to be closer to the front of the engine, and it doesnt interfere with my hood latch like this one that I saw today on another bronco. I'll see what I can do with some plate like that, thanks for the advice

i used the same type of 2x6x1/4 tubing for the base on mine and i can hit Anything with it and no dents so a deer wont stand a chance hahaha

it took me about 2 to three weeks but i had to slowly get the money up for it... and i did alot of my on mods so i can actualy stand on it to work on my engine and i dont have to worry about the winch pulling itself outta the bumper...
