So I'm a metal fabricator to access to all kinds of cool stuff, also do design work on the computer. I decided to make a front bumper for my Ram. Just wanted to get some thoughts.....

I like it but I'm a much bigger fan of th squared off bull bars instead of a prerunner bar. Especially on that design since you don't have a drastically sloped approach. I'd go with something similar to the ici or Westin hdx. Also don't forget some sort of access for your winch's clutch hande.

I think I figured it out on the computer and it was around 80lbs. I made it out of 12 ga. Steel, think after this one I'm gonna make one out of aluminum. We do a lot of custom molds out of aluminum.

I like how the light is in the bull bar in that, may do something like that instead of the round

Here's your new side business. I'm sure depending on price and shipping you'd probably get a lot of buyers on here.

I think its a great design.... but something else to option on it if you were to sell them is for guys with fender flares having the side profile meet the flare with a smooth transition on the same plane...

I could do that, wouldn't be that much more work. I'm gonna be ordering some soon, so that I can make sure it works out good for those too
