Aftermarket bumpers

[Aboogie808]

Did you find new bumpers?  If not I recommend what WesternMike suggested. I replaced stock bumpers with custom fabricated bumpers on a few of my trucks in the '70's and '80's.  A skilled fabricator can create a bumper to suit your specific needs and wants.  Make a sketch and discuss your plans with a skilled fabricator. You may be surprised at what the two of you can create!   I preferred working with an independent welder working out of a home workshop.  

What did the bumpers cost you to make?

My guy makes them for about $1800 CAD up here in Alberta, Canada

I am talking about many years ago so prices would not be relevant (even if I could remember ;- )  Time and materials is a pretty common billing method for custom projects.

I didn't have many issues getting my GoRhino adjusted. My wife has been my bumper buddy since installing and readjusting every time I have to take it off. The brackets did some time to get adjusted but torquing the bumper up and getting it right was pretty easy. My biggest complaint is getting the bunch of tiny screws in and out that hold the screen mesh on that hide the bolts. Love a wife willing to help work on the truck. Recently had her grinding and POR-25 the underside of the truck.

I’ve got a go rhino front bumper. The bumper is nice and good quality. The mounting was aweful. The brackets they gave didn’t properly fit, leaving me to have to fab something up on my own. Then to level the thing takes three people. One on each side and one underneath adjusting the 12 bolts that secure it. Was a pain. One side still sits about a quarter inch lower. I left it alone at that point bc I’m the only one who will ever notice. If I had to do it again I’d look elsewhere

Did these bumpers ever get finished and mounted would love to see some further away shots.
