I have a Hobart 140 Mig welder, do you think that would be enough welder to tackle a job like this?

I have a Hobart Handler 140 and its totally up to the task. I use the hell out of mine with flux-core. Its built some trailers, Jeep frames and even the control arms and steering for my van.

New bumper, 65lbs, all Aluminum. More specs in our build thread.

Looks nice and 65lbs is a win.

Emailed them about swing-out kits. They followed up asking what I'd like to see and after a few messages they said they'd be looking into it.

$750 for the full grill (deer killer model) sure seems like a lot of money for something that's still going to require several hours of work. I charge myself a high labor rate. I'm curious to see if anybody builds one of these here though.

Its ~$500 for any other front bumper option, and ~$400 for a rear. Iron Cross bumpers would be ~$2000 before shipping by comparison. Those are your 2 cheapest options.

If you do go Iron Cross take it straight to Line-X before bolting it on. I'm watching mine peel and rust after a year in the northeast.

How about ThunderStruck bumpers? Under $1200 for a built bumper.

Plus their website has the following quote which pretty much sells me on it haha:
“Have Thunder Struck on my both my Dodge vehicles. They just sling deer, no issues!”
