1978 Ford Bronco Custom Bumper Build - SolidWorks CAD Assembly Screenshot

SolidWorks model detail of a front bumper assembly showing the winch drum cylinder and a highlighted mounting plate face within the bumper end cap.

AI caption · Photo 580 of 992

This image is a photograph of a computer monitor displaying a SolidWorks CAD session with an assembly file named "Bumper Assembly.SLDASM" open (the asterisk indicates unsaved changes). The visible portion of the SolidWorks Assembly toolbar includes commands such as Move Component, Show Hidden Components, Assembly Features, Reference Geometry, New Motion Study, Bill of Materials, Exploded View, Explode Line Sketch, Instant3D, Update Speedpak, and Take Snapshot. The main viewport shows a close-up 3D model view of part of a custom bumper design: a large vertical cylindrical tube (likely a receiver tube or light/stinger mount boss) passing through angled plate geometry, with one face highlighted in blue indicating a current selection. A large dark circular cutout is visible on the right side of the model. No dimensions, materials, tolerances, or part numbers are visible in this view. The image is one of a multi-photo set documenting a custom bumper build for a 1978 Ford Bronco. A reader can learn that the owner designed the bumper in SolidWorks as a multi-part assembly and can see the internal plate/tube construction detail at this joint, but no measurable specifications can be extracted from this particular frame.
