I do not need a push rated bumper at all. Mainly because of the weight that comes along with it.
I figured I would dig up some dimond tread pattern 1/8'' steel from the scrap yard. Dimond tread would look nice and being 1/8'' would keep it from getting torn up by say something like a semi tire in the middle of the road.
With my miller 625 plasma cutter I can cleanly cut steel up to 3/4 inch thick, and weld steel up to 9mm with my little 135 amp lincon welder and I have my collection of varrious grinders and cutters.
The only thing I cant do for my latest round of truck mods is weld up my Stainless steel half inch thick T3 to HE351VE turbocharger flange adaptor. I will cut it, shape it, fit it, tack weld it together then take it to a local shop that specializes in stainless welding and machining to put the finished welds on it.
