I want to mod my stock bumper.

K, here's my idea, 1st I'll say this, I really like some of the aftermarket bumpers & wouldn't mind having one but......I'm afraid that it might look a lil strange with the stock width front suspension.

On to the idea; I'd kinda like to add some heavy mesh screen like some of the aftermarket bumpers have, basically just tack weld it in between like the bumper cross bar & the lil factory bumper skid.

Why you ask? Basically I want to put a oil cooler behind the mesh, I like the clean look of that, I just think it looks less noticeable behind the bumper than poking out from under the hood. I kinda wanna keep the stockish theme of the Warrior yet add function, hope it makes sense.

Oh yeah, where can I get the mesh, lol?

I think you can pick some up at lowes or home depot, but thats the expanded metal. I believe you can get grille mesh from advance auto/auto zone

No mesh, but here's my modded stocker.
It was mangled when I got it, so I cut the ends off and used some galvanized gas pipe (small lower one), a piece of unknown scrap for the top, and 1" square tube for the ends. I straightened out the skid plate and backed it up with some 1/2" angle between the uprights. Hid the sin with hammered grey paint. I think the frame horns will bend before this thing will, which might not be a good thing.

Oh that's badass custom man! Looks solid! I don't think I can use grill mesh unless it's steel & weldable, I'll check lowe's for the other stuff.
