Offroad Bumper: Mulligan

        I've decided to restart the bumper I'm building for my truck. The main reason for this is that I've found a much better design online, which looks much better:
        
        I can build this new bumper with metal twice as thin, but It will be even stronger, as the metal has a much stronger structure. I didn't really have a clear idea of what I was doing when I was building my first bumper attempt, and the fact that I had to build it at school meant that I didn't have a way of checking if the pieces I made fit properly.

        The bumper will fit onto my truck by simply sliding onto the frame ends, and bolting in.


        I'll be able to start building version 2 of my bumper once I get a working arc welder, and build a welding table. I've also made a 3d rendering of what my overall plans are for the truck.
