2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Got myself a new bumper!

What's the load rating on those clevis'?



-Ryan

I dont remember off hand, I bought them at Fleet Farm from the Farm section. THey are damn beefy, and the pin is 7/8" thick. They are bigger than most of the ones on the truck I some times wheel with... so i am not worried aobut it... honestly, the odds of me actually using one or two of them to pull me out... not very likely, but well see.

Did anybody ever get ahold of measurements for this bumper? I would love to start building one of these for my truck! Getting tired of the aluminum foil that protects the front of my baby. :-laf

 

[TJarecke]

No measurements. I kind of gave up on waiting for them.

sorry guys, i have been super busy with work, repairing the house (so I can get insurance on it) and also, trying to close the deal on buying it from my Grandmother. And trying to find time for the wife and the truck and you guys is tough! I Promise, I will have measurments for you all buy the end of the weekend!

I'm not trying to intercede here but that design could be worth money to the youngster that put it together. You can proceed with the distribution of the specs but you also might think of the youths future. Just include a measurement that will fill the hood gap if you decide to patent it.

That aside, nice looking unit. Mike

I want the Dakota! I've always wanted to build up a first body style Dakota.



It needs a winch to cover up that hole, well fairlead. Otherwise it looks very good. I wish my Buckstop had the Ram head logo cut out of it and a place to hang a pair of clevis's.

Mike, I will ask the kid that built it, honestly, I doubt he will want anything for the design, but I will ask. BUT, my only concern is this, I liked a few different bumpers, and gave him pictures of those, and if you look at mine, it looks alot like a Road Armor bumper, and I dont need RA slapping a lawsuit on me or the builder for selling a design that resembles their design. NOW, granted a plate bumper is a plate bumper, there is only so much you can do to make it look different. I will find out and let ya'll know. again, i just dont wana get into trouble ya know?



how she looks now... .

There are a few measurments I left out, reason I did is for a reason. I think that you should probably make your own parts for what I left out, as most people, including me, dont care for the gap under the grill. I didnt have the time nor tools to add in some metal to fill it, so I left out these dimensions, you really dont need them anyway.



MEASUREMENTS ARE APPROXIMATE!!!! Please dont just start cutting parts from my numbers, this is just to get you an idea and starting point.



IF YOU WANT A WINCH... . you MUST change the design, there is not enough room behind mine to fit one... you will have to make it stick out a little further to accomplish this.



I want to thank Kyle for his hard work and time he took building me this bumper, and then for giving me the OK to let you all have the measurements for this bumper... FOR FREE. PM me if you use this design and want to give the kid some dough just as a thanks. He has got some talent, thats for sure!
