anyone wanna guess what "no fur" means, haha

The new bumper looks great, although I have to say, I kinda like the stock one you have there in your sig. I think it looks cool with the straight edges, as opposed to the curved ones. Good job, nonetheless.
 
yeah i liked it too, but the damn thing weighed about 30 lbs, the last owner made that?? and there is a solid steel piece welded on like a tow hook underneath???, big weight savings with the new one
 
yea i want one of those bumpers hat u polished but if i have to ride ofer a log it would get caught and when i lod mine on my dads 18 ft trailr with a dove tail i dont have to get out the ramps but with that bumper it would get caught
 
yea an did the old owner hust cut the ends off of the origanil bumper??

i like it it looks awesome!!
 
i used medium grade and then fine sandpaper, then oooo steel wool, and finished off with "mothers" aluminum polish with a long strip of old jeans, applied the mothers and rapped the cloth around twice and pulled the ends back and forth, i've found that the cloth jeans are made of polishes the best for some reason, washed off all the black stuff then buffed it with an old towel,
and that crossbar was welded to that old bumper, and was very thick and heavy also, and with that solid tow hook thingy im tellin ya it prolly weighs 30 pounds, the new ones like 4 or 5 lbs,
hey 95 i'd offer the old one to ya if ya like it so much, but it weighs so much you prolly couldnt afford shipping hahaha
