Neighbors wood bumper

Clever. I've wondered what just a 6x6 or 8x8 bolted to the front would look like. If you get on a fever bender just go to the lumber yard and pick out a new one.

I saw someone with a railroad tie as a bumper before. Necks are a resourceful bunch.

It will probably hold up better than the bumpers on 75k-100k$ trucks sold today.

Needs a chicken wire brush guard, baw.

It used to be pretty common to have a 4X6 or 4X8 wooden bumper or a piece of 4-6" schedule 40 pipe as a front bumper on a pickup. I built a pretty sharp looking wench bumper for my old tahoe out of plywood and carbon fiber....it looked as good as any steel offroad bumper and looked good about 10 years after I built it when I sold the truck.

I knew a guy that had an iron railroad track welded to the frame for the rear bumper on a 2wd pickup. The weight of the iron rail made a huge difference in traction in mud & snow.

That’s a double whammy!
