Costa Fabrications 80 series land cruiser bumper.

This is a bumper I offer for the 80 series landcruiser. Its what drove me to purchase my torchmate 4x4 and get into cnc plasma. Before I had cut by hand. I built one of these for my own truck and due to the response online and requests for builds it has turned into my first online product. All the plate is cut on the table. what used to take days is now done in a couple hours. So happy with the purchase and all the new avenues of work that it opens up for my small 1 man home shop. Here are some pics of the bumper.

 

Love the stainless! Man after my own heart. Welds look nice, MIG and TIG. What gauge? Hard to tell in the pic but appears to be VERY solid. Nice work!

 

Thanks Ben. it's actually mild steel. The center section is a mix of 1/4'' , 3/8'' and the wings are 3/16''. the hoop is .120 wall DOM steel.
And it is extremely strong and heavily tested. There are stainless tie down loops I weld on in 4 places and a machined stainless bottle opener that goes under the wing as well but this customer did not require those.
Your contributions on here are great as well!

Sweet. Very nice. I like that it's not so big it looks ackward. Perfect fit.

 

Thanks for straightening me out Rich! Now that I can see the pics a bit better I see the remnants of mill scale. Blasted finish appeared similar to a 2b finish stainless. Still a product that I could see spending my money for and in todays world is about the best compliment I know to give.

 

I like your implementation of the tow points to insert a strap, good looking bumper.

 

Looks like you want to make one for my 06 big tree... I don't like getting my hands dirty but very close to the design I was looking for. Great job!

 

Did you build the rack on that Subaru as well?

 

Yes. And a full front winch bumper as well. But for some reason i cant load a pic right now?

 

Thank you

 

Nice! Do you happen to have any pictures of that build?

 

A ton. But for some reason i cant load a pic?

 

If you are having issues uploading files I would recommend getting ahold of the admin.

 

I think the file was too big.

 

How did you achieve the finish? D.A ? Looks good....

 

Thank you and yes I finish off my bumpers and parts with the D.A. before shipping .

 

Thanks!

 

Very nice work and thanks for sharing.
