Got my new bumper built on my '01. I was really frustrated by the height it had to be built at due to how low the frame is in relation to the bottom of the grille....now I know why I see soo many bent up Dodge bumpers. I used 4" sch 40 pipe, 4" channel for the frame, the additional frame work is made up of thin-wall tubing covered in sheetmetal to save weight,the grille guard is .120 wall tubing, and the center section is decked in 1/8" diamond plate since that is where most of the action will take place....now I can shove the old WC around the farm without tearing up my truck...at least till I start building it.
