Thread: Aftermarket front bumper

  1. #1

    Default Aftermarket front bumper

    Anyone has a source of a bumper that would fit the M-715?
    EBAY has some good buys on surplus Hmmwv front bumpers. Anybody worked with these? Some pictures of end results would be great.

    I made my own.... any local fabrication shop can punch/bend one up for you.

    6 inch channel iron with wedge washers from Fastenal on mine, ageng and soon to be on the truck sir Sermis. Super stout.
    Remember if you didn't build it you can't call it yours.

    Actually, I think it's 7 inch c channel because you have to have room for the wedge washers. Looks like stock but will plow right over that prius without even flexing.

    Default Thank you

    Thanks for the ideas.
    Has anyone tried a surplus bumper from a Humvee?
    There was a thread about using an after market bumper that fits a Ford F-350.
    Any traction on that idea?

    HMMWV bumper shackles are much easier to attach to the channel iron bumper. Compared to cutting the slots for the stock M715 schackles. You still get tow bar attachment points and just holes had to be drilled.

    Instead of cutting the slots and weakening the channel I bolted the stock lifting brackets from the wheels onto the channel. Went from 7/16 to 1/2 on the mounting bolts.
