Title: Making my own bumpers
Post by: Moezer on March 07, 2014, 02:14:26 AM

Hey guys, so im thinking of making my own bumpers front and back for my jk I don't want to do a stubby bumper want to do full length

How much would a full 3/16 sheet metal cost roughly?

Im still studding this not rushing in to making a hack job, any info or tips are welcome

Call some metal places and get prices...   Metal superstore is expensive.  Others may be cheaper but require minimum $$ purchases
