Nitromax,

Shoot me an email with that pic, larger, if you don't mind.

I'm having trouble figuring out what you are explaining.

Thanks,

Shawn

Well, I went to my local trailer store today, and a pair of 2" led marker lights for the front bumper were going to run me almost $30    , and I would have to wire them to blink and to stay on with the running lights (pain), so I passed on them.

They didn't have any of the 6" oval in AMBER, non LED,, like I wanted, but they did have the 6" white and red ovals for the rear. But, since they didn't have all of it, I left with nothing  :'(

However, when I got back to work, I hopped on EBAY and found all of the lights I need for the front and back forless than $40shipped, which is at least half of what I would've paid at the trailer store...glad I didn't buy them there!

Hopefully I'll have them all by early next week so I can wrap this up!

Will keep it updated.
Take care,
SQ

Just wanna say that is some nice lookin fab work, Great lookin welds. Myself I would put in the filler plate on top of the bumper, just for looks, will make all of the lines flow.  Also would make the rear bumper a Mirror image if the front.  Its kool having a tough truck, and there's nothing wrong with pretty truck. So when ya put the two together ya have a Pretty Tough Truck 

ghd,

Thanks for the comments. The rear bumper will be almost identical to the front, only I think I'm going to use smaller tubing (not sure yet).

I am probably going to add the top plate today, or at least cut it and see how it looks...weld it in if I like it.

Will post pics as work progresses.

Tonight I added the flat steel across the top. Originally, I was going to just lay it flat across, and cut the shape out.

I decided to get a bit creative and put an angle on it all.

Whatcha think?











I still need to add my lights, tow hooks, and receiver hitch. That will be later this week or next week...followed by paint!

SQ

Yes, I know... "This damn newbie is posting MORE pics of a front bumper?!?!?"

Yep! 

Took it off again tonight.

Cut a notch in it....



So I could fit this in it....




All done! Or am I?



Did you notice these on the previous pic? I drew some Zuki logos on there for grins...



Or maybe I drew them on there so I could tuck the blinkers behind them and have blinking zuki logos....?  8) 



And another:



And another:



And my favorite pic from today:



****NOTE: Nothing has been sanded yet, hence the metal splinters stuck to everything...Paint will do wonders for this thing.****

Hadn't seen that blinker idea used yet...although I'm sure it has been.

Once my lights come in, I am going to mount them up and see how I like it. If I don't, I'll cut some plates and fill the S logo back in. But, I think it will look pretty good, and definitely unique!

Got the hitch done, now just lights, tow hooks, and one more frame mount. Still deciding on how I want to do the hooks.

Whatcha think?

Nice touch with the indicators. You can never have enough pics  .

I'm with Rhino, keep up that fabulous work and keep those piccies coming !!!

That is some impressive work! I like the angle on the plate across the top, keep it up!

New pics, as promised! 











Got the lights installed behind the Suzuki Logo cutouts! The light size vs. opening size isn't perfect, but when they blink, you see a perfect 'S' Logo, awesome! 
The camera flash kind of ruined the effect of the lights behind the 'S' cutout...I'll try to get some daytime pictures tomorrow.

I am going to go ahead and buy a pair of 2" lights for running lights, as I didn't realize my blinkers were single filament/single action bulbs, no sweat. I'll put them inboard of the blinkers.

I'm also STILL going to tie it into the frame in the center, haven't done that yet...and still adding tow hooks to it, not sure which type. I'll get those tomorrow from somewhere.

Hopefully it will have paint before the weekend is over 

What do you think? Any criticism? (constructive, of course).

Should it be black, like the fender flares, or body color? I'm thinking Black (easier to touch-up paint it also).

Take care,
SQ

When in doubt, Paint it black, A little overkill on the grill guard, Thought it looked really slick with out it.

I assume you think the 'Grill guard' is what is actually a fishing rod holder (which is why I bought the samurai to begin with).

It is removable and will only be used when fishing the beach.

I'll get some more pics without it later.

SQ

Here's a few finished pics of it:



On the zuki, lights hooked up:



(had to do a touch up on the bottom - still wet in the pic):





Dark shot to show the lights/zuki logo better:



Any different opinions?

It has three frame mounts, should be plenty strong to hold all the fishing rods on the front.

Fishing Eh?  Now that idea I like.  By far the best lookin bumper I've seen on any of the sites! Keep up the good work young man, You got a good future at this. George.
