Join Greg and I as we design and fabricate a custom front winch bumper for the Green Machine. In this video we'll show you some of the process Greg goes through while building custom bumpers at his shop Rock and Road Performance and a few pointers that might help you with your projects at home! - Tim

From scratch, lol. Try that with a 4 1/2 cut off wheel and a cardboard template. That is what I would say from scratch is. Not all of us have access to auto cad and cnc plasma cutters.

Tip, for building plate bumpers get a metal saw that uses a carbide blade eastwood sells one for 80 bucks and it cuts through plate faster and cleaner than a grinder

“How to make your own bumper” *uses 3D printer, welder, custom cutting machine.* yea let me whip out 10k for a bumper

@ShyLesPaul 4 года назад

Just grab a welder and cut off wheel from harbor freight. And a big pack of cutting discs. This is doable with minimum tools. Just use a sharpie and a yard stick to make straight lines to cut and use carboard to mock up the design you want.

@moose8443 4 года назад

I designed mine with cardboard, took those measurements to a friend with a plasma table, and welded it up using a different friend’s welder. Maybe network a bit my guy.

@Khorsathedark 6 лет назад

Outstanding! Your welds look exactly like the ones that I can't do. I have to do a LOT more sanding.

@mrjdubs 6 лет назад

Step 1: Spend $10k on pro fabrication computer and auto plasma cutter. Simple!!!

@dorsk84 6 лет назад

You need to put these plans out for people. Either pay or for free. Cause that's a sexy bumper. How thick would it have to be for Stainless Steel for the same strength? Living in New England rust is a constant enemy of all cars.

@bleepinjeep 6 лет назад

SS is strong stuff but I would use the same thicknesses mention in the vid if I were to build one out of SS. You could also use aluminum, in which case I'd use 3/8" for the winch area but realistically regular mild steel like we used should hold up just fine with a proper powder coating and it's the cheaper option of the 3!

@dorsk84 6 лет назад

BleepinJeep I just ran it by my co-worker, who also has a SS custom fab shop, he watched the vid and with his plasma table could make it, but the material cost would cost 4x the amount.

@hitman19971 6 лет назад

It would also weigh a lot more. SS is heavy as shit

@brownbrothers6086 5 лет назад

As usually, good video. No not every one has a plasma table or a CAD program. But the concept and basics still apply. I really liked the skinning with 1/8 on the non structural areas. I am going to build a bumper in the next month or so and I had not thought about that. The 1/8 material gives me something to think about.

@thebobloblawshow8832 5 лет назад

Great vid. I’m getting really good advice for my project. Thanks guys.👍👍🇨🇦

@MCarberry89 6 лет назад

How to build.... if you have a CNC plasma cutter and a huge metal shop at your finger tips. To me a how to would be making it with stuff most people have available to them at home or at a friends house.

@bleepinjeep 6 лет назад

Understandable, but this is how we did it since these tools are at hand. Tips shared in this video are applicable to any fab project. I might build a rear bumper with a swing out tire carrier. I'll keep your comments in mind. Thanks.

@AndrewBrowner 6 лет назад

yeah its certainly not a how to video but you can still figure out how to make a similar bumper with just and angle grinder, drill and welder, measuring stuff out and making a profile on the steel in sharpie or with a scribe and cutting it out with a zip wheel

@guardmanonduty5139 4 года назад

People in this comments lol, you can get FreeCAD software for thats right, free. A buzzbox is not expensive. If you want just use cardboard cutouts instead. Of course I dont have a plasma table but you can bring it to someone that does or use a carbide blade in a circular saw to cut it. Don't let this stop you its a fairly simple job just requires attention to detail and patience.

@Wheelie9341 4 года назад

Very nice work and good looking bumper. One thing though you really need to get some goggles that seal around the eyes when using that angle grinder. Look at your video 14.50 to 14.59 that steel dust and bits of steel is going right at your eyes. Could cause blindness if you don't be careful A dust mask also, will help your lungs. Sorry but you really need to protect yourself.

@OceanOpperator 4 года назад

Only asking because I really don’t know anything about paint or powder coat. Did you have to grind the welds because you wanted to powder coat the bumper? If so then what does leaving the welds do to the powder coat process? Or was it just for personal preference and you didn’t want the welds to be seen?

@jalendvenn7990 6 лет назад

What kind of steel are you using?

@bleepinjeep 6 лет назад

Regular mild steel, but it is pickled and oiled. It's called HRPO. It's mild steel that goes through an acid bath (referred to as pickling) which removes the mill scale that forms on all hot rolled steel. It's then lightly oiled to prevent rust. It's ideal for machining or plasma cutting or any other cnc cutting process and it only costs a few bucks more than your normal hot rolled stuff. Much cleaner to work with!

@freeidaho-videos 2 года назад

WOW they took care of you in Loomis! First class Design & fabrication with internal gussets and heat management during the fab! I wish more people would engineer with 1/8" and 3/16" plate rather then the 1/4" assemblies that quickly transform a 4-1/2" lift to a 3-1/2"tire rubber

@ericsmith8825 6 лет назад

Hey guys I need a little help. Recently I hit a deer at 70mph taking out the entire drivers side grill, header panel, fender, the works including radiator and power steering pump and electric fan. I have located all parts I need to repair the 2001 xj except for 2. I can't find these two parts listed anywhere on any parts list. These two parts are located behind the header panel on both the drivers and passenger side and are what the fender bolt to. The second part is located right below that and is kind of an x shaped bracket. Any ideas?

@bleepinjeep 6 лет назад

I'd recommend finding a Pull-A-Park or Pick N Pull or similar junk yard near you. Look for a 97-01 XJ and take it apart, collecting the parts you need. Good luck!

@thatrealba 5 лет назад

Or you could drop it by a shop for a full repair estimate. All parts will be listed one by one. Personally, I would try the part yard route first.

Yep! Have you watched the rest of the Project Green Machine videos in the playlist? Greg and I built the whole Jeep at his shop. Some people like to see how small shops operate and get things done. Our channel has four video contributors and we each bring something different to offer. As far as free products... It really isn't free. It's in exchange for video content and without those opportunities many of the builds on this channel wouldn't be possible. Thanks for the comment.

I changed them numerous times depending on the type of weld. I welded the outside at 17.Something volts and don't recall the wire speed. In general Miller's auto set feature works really good on my 215, however I find the wire speed can always be turned down compared to the auto set and weld chart settings for how I like to weld. Stay tuned for future vids and I'll try to discuss this more on video.
