Push Bumper Time - sassparilla_kid - 01-23-2014
Alright, I think the time has come to make a push bumper for the w123, so hopefully my buddy with the truck is available next week to help me go pick up the metal and start some of the fabrication stuff. Anyway, I thought it would consult with the gurus while I'm still in the planning stages of the project. What gauge steel you think I should get? My buddy was thinking 10ga would be good, although I think something a little thicker might be better? I'm thinking of something along these lines, using the stock bumper shocks

I mean, 10 gauge probably isn't that bad of an idea, little thicker than 1/8th inch.
Any thicker than that it'll start gettin reallyy heavy. If your afraid it won't be strong enough, just make some support gussets and braces
