What did you hit now?

 

[total newb]

Not even me. Fucking broad.

This is what i get for waiting to clear some room off my cc

 

[TrailTamer]

Slacker.

On bright side looks like salvageable? Insurance $$$ coming? If yes use it on a king ranch (moose catcher) bumper?

 

[Aggie06]

Well, you won’t have to worry about busting trim when installing the new bumper.


Found anything that looks decent?

 

[total newb]

I sent a message to the local guy i talked about at the begining.

Everything i coul find was 2-3k and was bigger lip than i wanted for a stock hieght rig.

A guy i used to work with got in and is running a fab shop but wanted $2200 and couldnt/wouldnt show me anything.

The one im going with is $1600, ive seen tons of his pics and a few in person so im dropping it off in 2 weeks.

 

[What?]

Damn, that sucks. Crazy how expensive they get nowadays

 

[arse_sidewards]

Have you considered it may be cheaper to just teach her how to drive?

 

[total newb]

Shes right here and im scared to show her your post.

What do you mean couldnt/wouldn’t? $2200 is a lot to drop on something blindly

 

[total newb]

Yeah it is.

I asked for the same things, small winch frame, full wrap gaurd, shackle points, he came back a few days later with $. "You got a cad/drawing/example i can see?"
"Nope"

the only other bumper ive seen of his was a dodge and did not have the upper.


The guy im going with has dozens of pics and ive see a few of his jobs inperson and theyre well priced and well done.

 

[Mvanhelden]

Damn that sucks! Just googled and found Ruenell is now owned by Buckstop? Last time I even googled a Buckstop was 10-12 years ago and they were $1500, they are over $3k now. But even at that price I’d just bite something and put in on there, she looks to have got pretty lucky with that one, only damage I see it it tweaked the drivers cooler whatever that is a little bit.

 

[total newb]

Yeah i just went out and looked at it.

It push the lil aux cooler back against the a/c condensor but didnt bust any of it.
Grill is obvious gone and what ever plastic shit that hold the headlights and blinkers up, but otherwise, not bad.

[arse_sidewards]

How much money you got tied up in those bends?

 

[total newb]

What bends?

 

[arse_sidewards]

The pre bent pipe 90s

 

[total newb]

Those arent bends, those are pieces!

 

[arse_sidewards]

They're pre-made bends. Or at least that's what everyone selling them calls them.

Anyway how much did they set you back? I recall them not being cheap last time I looked to the point where I basically wrote them off for shit like this.

 

[M92PV4U]

They're pre-made bends. Or at least that's what everyone selling them calls them.

It looks like they could be had for $4-6 on line before shipping.

 

[arse_sidewards]

Yeah I just checked eBay and seems like they got cheap or the supply of shit being liquidated increased.

 

[TRINDU]

Run out of fluxcore on the HF special?

[posford]

I get that its just a cow catcher, but man prep those weld a little bit would ya!

Edit: forgot you're in Cali, its not a cow catcher its a protestor processor

 

[Grendel]

I am confused. Did you make this, or did your buddy?
That's a lot of grinding to be done.

 

[total newb]

Jesus fuck.

Ive said it like 4 times i dropped it off to be built.
Just hard working white guy making a living on cows and side hustling bumper.

 

[Steve300xcw]

I think folks are assuming that that is what he is calling finished.





He's not calling that finished is he?

 

[posford]

Jesus fuck.

Just going to be funny when somebody hits a squirrel with that and the bubblegum welds fall apart and the bumper does more damage itself than if you just had a stock bumper

 

[total newb]

I think folks are assuming that that is what he is calling finished.





He's not calling that finished is he?

Fuck no.

He sprays them with rhino liner type shit. It would take more time to bondo and smooth than it would to weld it complete.

 

[Steve300xcw]

I dunno bout that. 9" an some 36gr pads do fast work

 

[Grendel]

Nah, it doesn't take the long to grind them. It would look 100% better. For the money, it should look finished.

This is one I did for an IH body, on a Chevy frame.
