Mine...

Jigsaw puzzle of the mounts I cut out of a piece of scrap...

One mount, thick ****...

Finished product...

I had a guy tell me at the race recently he got hassled by a cop about his pipe bumpers. Cop asked why he had a "battering ram" on the front of his vehicle. Went on to say he couldn't have a homemade bumper on his vehicle, only one manufactured by a company known for fabricating them. That if it is too thick it wont fold in a collision and would probably kill people in the other vehicle he might hit. I guess driving a truck that has a bumper that sits at least 2 feet taller than any other bumper on the road wouldn't have anything to do with that outcome. I thought about getting an alphabet punch set and knock my own made-up brand on it just to keep em guessing lol. "Rock-Ready Fabrication" lol

We have no such law in my state. Bumpers are required, but I have never found a law that demands manufactured DOT certified ones. And you can see my special bumper in my signature.

Tell that **** sucking bastard to write a ticket and fight that in court. What a fuggin *******.

As a truck dispatcher dealing with custom made bumpers and DOT I can tell you right now that is a LOAD OF ******* ********. Buy a donut and stick that in your pie hole copper.

yeah in NC you could run a 2x4 on the front as long as you have no exposed frame horns..

 

[89Suburban]

You can do it here but it must be backed by steel the whole length.

2x6 wood bumpers used to be a common sight, on a lot of 70's cars. They had chrome bumpers with an aluminum backing, so they always corroded and fell right off. And the only time you saw a car that still had it's stock rear bumper, was because it was held on with bailing wire.

I run alot of the old Holmes wrecker bumbers on my trucks. there tough as heck, and protect the whole front. I have seen pipe bumpers total out a truck tho in a minor crash because they don't give and waste the frame. that's why my tool truck can't be put on the road, the frame is way out of spec from a small hit of a tree
