Diy tube bumper
So I think im gonna attempt to fabricate my own stubby tube bumper and tube rear bumper.. Has anyone else done this? I cant get myself to drop 600 to a grand or more on two aftermarket set ups.
Im thinking either 3 inch black pipe or 3 inch ridgid conduit. (conduit cause its easy to bend and match any angles. But sucks to weld)
And either paint and plasti dip or paint and bedliner
Any input would be great

Just Save for a real bumper. Like the post above, you dont want a bumper thats easy to bend. And the Tube bumpers make the jeep look, well, old and boring...
A new (stronger) bumper will save your front end most likely while wheeling or if you get in an accident. Tube bumpers dont give too much protection, especially a stubby tube bumper. Search craigslist. Also you can find some stubby bumpers pretty cheap (200$ range) online.
But to each his own. And if you really like the look of a tube bumper I say build it. But use some strong steel to make it useful!
Good luck!

Good input,dont particularly care for the tube look, but care less for the stock one.
3 inch ridgid conduit requires a bender and it doesnt bend easy. I just meant cause I have a bender at work
Ill probably just save up and find some other project.
Thanks guys!
