Monster Robert's Monster Bumper Build

[1freaky1]

Pete & I were called upon by a previous member (Monsterburban) to build a new rear bumper for his out of this world recovery rig, I have to say as a side note this rig is a awesome kick in the pants to drive too. Any way Robert wanted something that would be super strong and look good, so our challenge was to build it from 1/4" plate with a rear winch mount with a basic idea of what he wanted in it, Pete and I took it from there and did some creative planning, designing, and building that should meet all Robert's request and surpass a few of them too! Zach also came by to get in some more time learning and experience building these so when time comes to build his rig he knows some of what goes into it, which he now has a Dana 44 for the front of his ranger.
Here are some of the build pics;

It's a MONSTER!!

No kidding, it almost dwarfs Pete's rig!

[Mporter]

It's even more impressive in person. I had the chance to talk to Robert on Sunday when me and Pete were tweaking my bumper/installing my winch.

Looks good guys, keep the pics rollin'

It definitely dwarfs Pete!

It definitely dwarfs Pete!

You're right, was trying to avoid giving Pete a complex, so many other things are shrinking at his age didn't want it to be his rig too! :lol:

Funny thing is Pete's truck dwarfs mine and Roberts makes mine look like a toy, LOL.

Is that the rig of the person formerly known as MonsterSuburban ? Cool rig if it is, and it sucks he left. Any luck talking him back onto the forum? Sweet bumper too. Good to see Zatticus getting his hands dirty too. Wish I had started doing this stuff when I was 17. It was always something I wanted to do, just hadn't gotten around to it till the last couple years. Who knows how good I would be now. Guess I'll just have to catch up.

Yeah, me too Josh. Did some welding on the farm growing up, then nothing more until around 1982.

Yes, to answer your question on Monsterburban. I already invited him back on and explained that what he got was not the norm. Also sent a warning message to the people responsible...like 'last chance, let's don't pull this crapola again with anyone here or bye bye...'

And Zach is now the proud owner of a Dana 44 front axle to go under his Ranger! Way to go Zach!

We did a little midnight oil burning on this one to get it done in a day as you can see from the pictures. Also the bumper is modular. The two sides and frame mounts are a single piece and the whole center section is a single piece. The winch mount is actually mounted to the 10k receiver and the whole winch section can be removed as a single unit.

I told LaDawn about talking about stuff like that! Damn....and me being sooooooooo sensitive, too....You have no heart, Jock...none...

[Brody]

So how is this: I proposed to Robert that he, Ed(southpaw3), Bill (tonkatoy) and Ash and Karla take all their built up burbs through Old Chinaman's Gulch...You know...kinda just for grins. Biggest rigs to ever go through that trail...I am going to talk to Bill and Ed (both of whom have run almost all the hard trails in Moab, including 'buggy' trails, and Ash and Karla.

Me...hell, I want to go to get pictures...especially of the faces of people on the trail....

Pete was talking about that too haha. And I quote "It's nice to work on a bumper without having to kneel down to do so."

Thought about just doing a deletion, but decided to be a nice guy for a change...Gotta say it was my first thought, though. That **** don't fly with me...

Bah sensitivity isn't in your vocabulary! I am surprised you even knew how to spell it, what did you do Google "feelings" or something? :lol:

Kidding aside, nice job on the bumper you two and Zach!
