  • I bolted the bumper up and it still wasn't holding its shape right. Wasn't coming to a point at the center and it had bowed so instead of being a > it was more like a } (real high tech visual aid shit going on right there)



    In that pic, there are blocks of wood wedged behind the middle at the bottom and zip ties holding the sides to the tow hooks to try to stretch it back to its shape. But that didn't work. So to remedy that situation, I welded up a brace/bracket type deal that will help it hold its shape and give me something to bolt to the body so the bumper stays firm when it hits the ground.



    painted and bolted up



    The PO of the bumper lived in a state where you have to have a front plate, so he had drilled holes in it, which I wasn't digging. So I used some zip tie clippings and a soldering iron and plastic welded them back up











    I'm pretty stoked on how well that worked.

    WELD ALL OF THE THINGS

          It weighs like... a pound. But I'll just assume you're one of those Ignant kids since you're from Orgun and clearly a doofus yourself.

                God damnit that is brilliant. And after that little birdie drops some paint on it, this is going to be looking good.

                  • Don't use "Ignant Kid" as an insult.

                    I don't appreciate that.




                    Your front end is all out of balance now, by the way. Too much metal up there.

                    • There's actually a DJ on a local rap station that says "WE FINNA GET IGNANT UP IN HURRR" all the time. Makes me think of you. And not in a good way.
