Does anybody know if reproductions are available?

Has anybody fabbed a nice front bumper, and it still looks "original"?

I did measure a 2.5 ton front bumper and they are close, but will not be a good choice for me.

My M819 front bumper is damaged beyond repair, I'm considering my options.

Deuce bumper is 9"; and 5-ton is 10". Surely someone up that way has a spare laying around.

I'll ask Troy what condition the front bumper is in on the donor M817 we have DH.

My M819 front bumper is damaged beyond repair,

Does that mean there is a VW embedded in it? We need pictures.
Is it worst looking than mine? Wayne

The damage was there when I purchased the M819.

Yesterday, I replaced the front winch. My truck had had a serious impact in between the front frame rails. My roller fair-lead was busted off.

When I dropped a different winch in place, it wouldn't fit! I had to do some heating and trimming on my front bumper, to get it in place.

I considered cutting the center section of my bumper out, and replacing it with a deuce center section, but it seemed like a lot of work. I figured, if I was gonna do that much work, I might make a nice custom bumper(was hoping someone Else's fab work might inspire me).

I'll probably just find a good stock front bumper.

I appreciate the offers, and comments.

Timtrucks has a parts 5 ton, maybe it has a good bumper. If so I could take it to GA. There's also CSI in GA. They have a ton of them.

I also have some 5 ton winch parts and a complete winch with tensioner and level wind !!

Clinto, I bow to your Superior Search Skills!


I like that bumper, but I don't want to weld one on. Hmm

Looking at those pictures reminded me of something else i been wondering about lately. I now have a few 5 ton front winches. One of them has a cast iron or forged steel roller fair lead setup, the others are cast aluminum.

Does anybody know why there are both steel and aluminum?(fair lead brackets)

No reason why you couldn't build a custom bumper and bolt it on, just like the stock one.

I'm going to cannibalize my stock front bumper. Chop it up and reshape it. I don't really like how far the front bumper sticks out with the winch extensions, especially outside of the framerails. So I'm going to start by pie-cutting the bumper at the bends and pull those wings back towards the front fenders. Would start over with boxed tubing, but it would have to stick out further, unless I cut the brackets shorter. Might even end up designing a whole new bumper though; something that I could have laser-cut and formed (like this). Just depends on what else I've got going on, and whether or not I'll be able to make something out of the stock bumper that I'll be happy with. Definitely going full-custom in the rear though. Want to build a wrap-around bumper to protect the rear corners of my M109 box.

There is alot of work/time involved in fabbing and painting, if I go custom.

To duplicate the original, a piece of frame rail C channel would be a good start, then cut and bend it, then there is that cut-out in the bottom(for the cable). Add to that cleaning, priming and painting and wow, there goes a week.

I think I would be happy with a stock bumper.

still thinkin....

 

[jesusgatos]

Well, I don't know what you're looking for. Stock is stupid-simple, and building a basic custom bumper like the one posted is an easy 1-day project if you're halfway handy in a shop. But if you want to go full custom, and do something a little bit nicer/tricker, I could help you design something that you could have a local sheetmetal shop cut/form for you. You've got options...

Sorry DH...the M817 bumper is FUBAR.

 

[Chieftawny]

Colemans has some i think on trucks that they are piecing out. was there today again and saw some 5 tons. actually think i may have found a truck for myself.

 

[jesusgatos]

here you go

 

[gimpyrobb]

Jesse, that is a dodge truck bumper, not an 800 series bumper.

 

[jesusgatos]

Oh, riiiiiiiiiight. Well like I said, you've got options. Hah.
