Started making new bumper to get more approach angle and i like the look of frame cut bumper. So it was time to do some chopping for frame horns and make radius tube. I did not find anyone who would bend me that radius tube with first try. So i had to get one radius tube, cut and weld it together to get some what shape as valance has.
After i got that done it was time to fit that to truck and start making templates for frame horn mounts.
Bumper is mostly done now, it just needs few small things like mounts for skid plate bolts and few holes, mounts for light bars and a skid plate. I have done few different drawings of skid plate and will send those to laser cut once i decide which one I'm going to use.
Finally fitted to truck and i think we have achieved better approach angle
Only problem i see with this bumper is where to mount those lights. I had two light bars on my last one, one behind skid plate and one on top. Bigger one will most likely mount same way as before but other one probably won't work behind the skid plate any more.
