Homemade Grille and Bumper--All 12 ga Steel

[Corp. Klinger]

Here's the last 6 weekends of my life. All ready to be blasted and painted!

Like all my home projects, cost me twice as much to build as what's in the catalogue, and took me 3 times as long as what I thought!

Looks absolutely amazing! Sometimes my projects take much longer and cost more as well. But with results like that who cares? That's awesome!!

Thanks! It's a good feeling when you make something yourself, and that's definitely worth the extra time and money to me.

That's the kind of things I like to do, something that no one else has done and is one of a kind.

I do diesel conversions, done 2 12v Cummins and 1 Kubota Conversion.

Looks tough! What are you going to use as front turn signals?

Are you making a rear bumper also? If you do i'd recommend putting a tire carrier on it.

Very nice!

I ordered some cheap Steelcraft fender flares. They were supposed to come with a mounted turn signal, but they did not. Been going back and forth with customer service, but worst case, I'll make up a little holder for an off the shelf LED to mount on the flares.

Are you making a rear bumper also? If you do i'd recommend putting a tire carrier on it.

Yeah, I got a whole thing drawn up for the rear:

It's going to be an overland camper, so I want to be able to fit a battery bank in the rear bumper. Dimensionally, I can fit 5 in there right now.
