I am going to fabricate custom bumpers for Inga next summer.
I'm planning on modeling them after the big truck aftermarket bumpers.
Definitely the "DFWM" kind. The main purpose for me is crumple zone. I'd
like to get a few more inches of deceleration between me and the next guy.
They'll be lightweight aluminum and will double as something to climb on and
attach things to. I plan some holes for lights, spots for winch and hitch,
tread plate on top and round corners to increase the aerodynamics. I have no
idea how much it will cost me but it will be a fun project and look very
cool.
