Finished my new custom bumper
I just got a new Jeep a couple months ago and decided to make myself a new bumper instead of re-using the one I made for my last Jeep. I was able to score a Plasma Cutter on CL for pretty cheap so it made my life a whole lot easier

Thanks guys. I stopped by the local steel distributor and grabbed a half sheet of 3/16" plate. They sell drops for 60 cents a pound. I picked up a plasma cutter for $250 and I already own a welder. Between the plasma cutter, steel, hardware, paint and consumables I have a little over $350 invested.

I plan on doing the rear eventually. I still have the stock rubi tires so when they wear out and its time to move up to 35s that will be part of the process. Next on the list is Raptor bedliner. Just finished getting the sound dampening caulk out yesterday.
