Custom D1 Rear Bumper

[DiscoDino]

Hey...

Wanted to share "real" pictures of the bumper Jay and I designed for his truck (i'm posting for him as I'm more addicted to online surfing than he is...)...

The design is fairly simple and I have emailed the "Paint sketch" to several members...

Jay positioned the truck graciously for better angles of the bumper

Tucked in pretty nice

Bumper offers good clearance

Ties in several areas to the frame (needs frame cutting and welding new "winch cradle"/"mount")

Great clearance - "if it doesn't hang low, it won't get banged as often" philosophy

That's it...

Thanks for Jay for volunteering his rig as a test for this bumper that turned out light, strong, tight, and cheap (compared to the 1000$ ones I see floating around here...)

Cheers,

Nadim

Awfully nice of him to go out there and suffer the abuse all for the cause of taking pictures of the bumper

Is this the same Jay with the sweet Baja buggy I've seen pics of?

what kind of metal did you use? looks like boxed/plate in the middle then tube off of that? need to make a bumper soon and i like the way that looks. nice job

Not Jay but do you mean the one posted on TGR?
If so, that's too funny.

Don't mean to hijack but that's quite a coincidence.

Hey B- I got your name mixed up...oops! But, yeah, at first I thought it was yours.

Two "Jay"s with two Camel Discos? weird coincidence...

Not quite that weird.
Just two different people, forums, and rigs mixed up.

BTW, I really like the bumper design.
Can you get some better pics?
