A stock Suzuki Samurai front bumper is made of very thin metal. It is time to make something better.

 

I purchased the raw components from Zuks Off Road.

 

I have removed the stock bumper. I will cut the bumper mounting tube flush with the body mounts on either side of the frame rails. The ends of the tube are not needed for the new bumper.

 

I have spot welded the pieces together and am doing a test fit.

 

After spot welding, I removed the bumper and finished the welds on the floor. I sprayed it with Krylon primer from a rattle can.

 

I finished the project with three coats of Krylon satin black. This is much tougher than the tin foil bumper that came from the factory.
