This is what it looked like when I bought the Bronco

Here it is ready for our first Broncofest in 2003

This is what it looked like when I began this project

1/4" x 8" plate steel for the new bumper

See ya later

Here is the Bronco with no bumper and the plastic air dam removed from under the grill

I used a cutting wheel to score the back of the plate steel where I wanted to bend it

I then bent it to match the shape I had drawn on my workbench

After bending I welded the bends front and back

All welded up and ready for paint

Painted

Test fit

It fit just as planned
(better to be lucky than good!)

I drilled it for 3 grade 8 bolts on each frame horn, these are temporary for now

Here are the upper tubes tack welded on

All tubes tack welded in place

I then took the bumper off to complete the welding on the tubing

I welded and grinded alot from this point to get it to look decent

This is how it ended up with a coat of paint

Hole for the WARN 8274

Finish paint

On the truck and lookin sexy!

On the advice of a couple of friends, I added a bottom for strength
