Default Recovery Truck gets a bumper

after bending the valance pannel and getting caught on the tow hooks running over that ford cab decided to go ahead and build a bumper . .still wanna built a brush/tree guard and integrate it into the bumper . .probably out of 1 3/4 - 2 1/4 tube
3/8 angle brackets, 8x1/4 C channel 7/8's lifting eyes

over kill "brush guard" made . . . . . 2 inch o.d. . . 0.200 wall . .. . still gotta grind and check my welds in the day light and then paint it and put it back on . . .

had a little gap between the C channel and pipe . . stood it on end and used the f350's boom to push down on it to try and close the gab (was touching the bottom but not the top) and the f350 lifted it'self off the ground and the pip didn't bend/move lol


here is a pic of it tacked together . . . the 1x1 was just to get it even height on both sides . . it came out later
