USMC Bumper dimensions

Unread post by ltsimp » January 17th, 2017, 3:06 pm

After looking for and not finding a reasonably priced USMC front bumper I have decided to make my own . Just need the dimensions of an exsisting one that I might copy. Anyone out there willing to give me measurements? Thanks in advance.

Nice bumper, definitely strong and functional but I think the OP is looking for a stock bumper which is C channel.

hi

Rickf
the bumper has the nearly the same dimensions as the original from my USMC MUTT
the only thing is we can not get profile in inch only mm
the two mountings are also the same from two half's U iron welded
we dit not have the hoist eyes originals are flat one`s we have used the one`s from the MUTT rear

I might be looking at it wrong? Is the back enclosed? I thought at first it was made from square tubing.
