Built my front tube bumper w/2" receiver

A while back I built a 2" receiver to accomodate a winch on a multi mount for the front of the FJ. It worked out well but I still wanted a different bumper. So I built a tube bumper and incorporated a 2" receiver into it. It can also be built with a winch plate as well.








2” Receiver Tube Bumper Specs

Specs: As built with 2" receiver

Weight-91 lbs
Top Tube-1 1/2" .188 wall(3/16") DOM tubing

Second bar-1 1/4" .188 wall(3/16") DOM tubing

Main verticle supports-1 1/2" .188 wall(3/16") DOM tubing

4 side supports-1 1/4" .188 wall(3/16") DOM tubing

Main mounting plates (4) 1/4" steel plate

Main cross bar-at bottom just above stock tow hooks- 1 1/2" X 2" .188 wall square tubing

Receiver-2 1/2" .250 wall square tubing

Receiver support- 1/4" plate steel welded to rear of receiver, 90degree supports behind it (tough to see in photos). 1 1/4" .188 wall DOM tube Hoz. connected to two main vert supports and welded to bottom of receiver. Two Vet.1 1/4 .188 wall DOM tubing welded to sides of receiver and HOZ 1 1/4 .188 wall DOM tubing above and below. One 1 1/4" .188 wall DOM tubing angle brace below receiver attached to 1/4" steel plate
Skid plate-1/8" plate runs from bottom of 1 1/2 X 2" square tube to front cross member of frame.

Top Cover-1/16" steel plate welded to top bar and fitted under grill bezel and body around to fender flares.

$875.00 plus shipping


I have recently been getting many questions about the multi mount and wiring for the rear of the vehicle. The links below are to the multi mount and the wiring. Both are from Warn.

Re: Built my front tube bumper w/2" receiver

That looks great! I am looking for a front receiver mount for attaching a surf rod rack and your solution looks perfect. How much do you think a copy would cost?

Re: Built my front tube bumper w/2" receiver

I can't really see the details well in the small pics, but did you use expanded steel to cover your radiator? Just wondering, thats what I got there.
