I am by no means a good fabricator. But I wanted to create this thread to show that anybody with a welder and some patients can burn some metal together. A lot of the guys that fab their own stuff talk down rather than help the people who have never done it before. It is a big jump getting into it at first, I've only bee welding for about 4 years on and off, self taught. I don't claim to be an expert or even be good at it.
I have a Bumper that I needed some light mounts on and a skid plate added to, also needs additional frame tie-in I'll do later.
Started by removing the bumper from the Comanche, and then started doing cardboard mock up.
Transfered the cardboard template to a piece of 1/8" plate. I don't have any fancy tools and I do the majority of my cuts with saws or angle grinders. For this I used a jigsaw. Below is the raw steel before cleaning it up.
Tacked in place:
Finish welded:
