Ok, I want to build a bumper similar to this:
I am pretty sure I am going to use a 5x2x1/4 or 3/16 rectangle stock. That is one question. Which wall thickness for the main piece? 1/4 or 3/16 or a different thickness all together?
Second:
What type/thickness to make the mounting bracket from the bumper to the frame?
I have seen these ideas:
I am going to get a receiver tube to put in the middle, its in the first pic under the lic. and use it for towing... so I know I will need to make it beefy and gusset it really good. I am also going to add 2 D-ring shackle mounts as well like in the first pic.
Thanks.
