Subaru Forester Bumper Build for E.J.

[StumpXJ]

I will weigh it in the morning after the paint dries before I put it on. It should be fairly close to 50-60 pounds with the mounts and hardware. At least thats what it feels like as I was moving it around today. I could be way off. Its definitely the lightest bumper ive ever built though.

Thanks for the compliments guys, I think it turned out pretty good for never having done one on a Subie before.

Love it.... Great work!

Looks very nice. Can't wait to see it mounted.

As promised, here is the weight of this thing. NOTE: this is WITHOUT the mounts and hardware, wich should probably add another 5 or 6 pounds. Id call the whole thing 45 pounds, which is quite a bit lighter than I though it would be. It shouldnt even be noticeable as the skin probably weighed 8-10 pounds, and the plastic bumper behind the skin weighed in at 12 pounds.

Ok... I think it looks pretty ************.

Pretty darn good! Now get started on the rear.

 

[E.J.]

Woot! Can't wait to pick it up, really cant wait to get it dirty!

FWIW the stock stuff that came off (including the oem fogs) should weigh in right at 50#

Thats up to Josh and his wallet....

Damn stump that looks awesome. I like it a lot. really adds to the Foz. Like it was meant to be there.

Looks great! My only comment is maybe you could put a bend on the leading edge skid plate that sticks out from the bottom of the bumper so it tucks behind the bumper. Looks like a likely place for random crap to snag as it sits.

Its gonna get bent up and attached to the bottom of the bumper. I dont have a break big enough to bend it since its 1/4", but Josh is going to have it done later. Its definitely a shovel as it is...

Wow, your approach looks allot better, especially in front of the tires. Good job.

 

[CMiller]

That looks great! I want one for my Subie!

 

[StumpXJ]

Looks like I exceeded my bandwidth.. I will fix that.

CMiller, road trip to Atlanta!

Thanks guys, ~ Stump
