wanna build me one? how much 4 materials you think?

[Dirty Turtle]

Im not sure how much it actually cost me. I charged this guy $225 complete.

I am working on a stinger/bumper similar to poison spyders, but theirs is just the stinger. This will be a bumper too, with 3/4" D-rings, welded front and back of the 2x4' tubing.

I have lots of projects im working on. Im going to build a rear stinger/tire carrier, tube doors, sliders, a roof rack. Maybe even axle trusses. I will build stuff, then see if I want to start producing any of it depending on needs. There is a TON of bumpers on the market for cheap, but they all look the same or are rediculous in price.

kind of like your over priced bumper

Thanks. I pretty much copied the idea of 2 different bumpers and combined them. They were each selling for around $400, so I think the price is fair. Took me about 10 hours to build. Figure $40 for materials, another $10 for gas, electric, and welder consumables, grinding/cutting discs, etc. Leaves $17.50 an hour. How much do the big 3 start their works at again?
