Dodge bull bar on my 87

« on: March 05, 2011, 12:06:35 AM »

I put my freebie on my 87 tonight. Gonna have it powder coated black this week. Total beats a stock bumper.

Weld some mounts in for a winch and once you have it powder coated you'll have a kewl / cheap stinger for the front!

i thought at first it would totally look out of place, but it looks hella good. i would pass on the powder coating.

might want to not do that without rebulding the whole thing, they are thin guage steel tube. (16 guage) use to install them. also dont expect it to hold up in an impact, ive seen them crumple in 5km/h crashes.

Mike, Thanks for correcting me! I forgot how thin walled some of them can be.

Yeah I know its not gonna hold up in a crash but I dont expect a factory bumper to hold up either.
