Well done, Bob! The bumper looks fantastic!

[@seansysig]

Great protective coating choice. Hugely improved the look of your truck.

[@MakingStuff]

Thanks 👍

[@jimstools3937]

Now This Should’ve Been Around Years Ago. Excellent Move.

[@andyb7754]

That bumper turned out great. WOW, that IS a massive bumper!!

[@MakingStuff]

Thanks! It's actually smaller than the stock bumper.

[@Battleborn357]

My stock bumper on my 09 Cummins was in wreck. Having the insurance company write me a check and I'm buying the front and rear MOVE kits. This video helps simplify it. Thank you

[@cppower14]

Looks really good. Great job, but I would cut the tow plates off, bevel them and run multiple welds on them. The thick metal tow plates are made from is to thick for the single pass of the mig or even an arc welder. Bumper looks awesome.

[@BaxterKaleb]

Now you need one for the rear.

[@littletreesdiy4222]

Great video 👍 thanks. I've had my eye on this bumper for a while. Now after watching your video it's time I get to purchasing this.

[@MakingStuff]

Glad I could help!

[@stuffsethmakes]

that looks SICK!!! i'd love to put one on my Ram. Great video👊🏻

[@kortt]

That bumper came out awesome! Nicely done!

[@MakingStuff]

Thanks 👍

[@ernie5229]

Would have liked to see a light bar demo.

[@terryfrymire2705]

Man, That Bumper looks Great. I'm considering this for my truck! Great Job Bob!

[@MakingStuff]

Thanks!

[@09FLTRMM77]

MM77 Approved 👍🏼👍🏼………………… now, let me bring my Ram 2500 by and fab me up one of those beauties!!! LOL!

[@waynecreech]

Another great video and you are So close to 100k !!

[@MakingStuff]

Thanks! I know, less than 300 subs at the present time.

[@AmateurRedneckWorkshop]

A very moving video. It does look good on your truck. Thanks for the video.

[@MakingStuff]

Thanks 👍

[@TheMkshort707]

Looking good. I just bought my move bumper. Looking forward in fabing it together. I really like the raptor bed liner too

[@MakingStuff]

Thanks for watching!

[@regsparkes6507]

That is one nice looking bumper kit and end product too. Sure does dress up the front of that truck of yours.

[@MakingStuff]

Thanks!

[@brianbrink1421]

Bumper looks great! Excellent video. I bought a DV8 bumper and I don’t like it. The 4 led lights point at an angle. They should b straight ahead so u can see but it shows the side of the road on the left side and the next lane on ur right. How idiotic!!! They would let me return it either when I figured this issue out. Ugh another company not standing behind their product.

[@MakingStuff]

Thanks!

[@Creaky_Candle]

Wow that looks good!

[@awli8861]

This looks awesome man!

[@MakingStuff]

Thanks!

[@ThatPhilBurgGuy]

You have the same one I bought and built! It's amazing. I need a rear bumper now lol

[@MakingStuff]

Yeah, I thought the same thing as soon as I was done with the front. Thanks for watching!

[@arzibanez3924]

Boss Bob @Makingstuff you do a quick work awesome, super cool,super nice,perfect and gorgeous, boss I have 2006 Nissan Xterra off-road, problem is I don’t know how to weld

[@MakingStuff]

Move has a line of bolt together bumper. I recently made a video on them. kzbin.info/www/bejne/a3jEZ6d8orONlbM

[@callsignmohas5190]

Gana get this for my 02 cummins and instead of bedliner or powder coat. Im gana cerakote it

[@alexhayman7262]

Awesome stuff. Great attention to detail. Now you need some 22x12s or another big wide set of wheels.

[@MakingStuff]

That would be cool! Thanks for watching!

[@chiefwraps7711]

why didn't you bevel the tow hooks before welding?

[@thefreedomwarrior]

Nice

[@MakingStuff]

Thanks for watching!

[@oggarage3459]

Great video. I bought a full grill cover bumper from Move, I've never welded before i have i mig 140 welder. Should i attempt to do this myself or should i pay someone else to do it for me any tips. Subscribed to your channel btw. Thanks for the video.

[@MakingStuff]

The bumpers aren't hard to weld. If you aren't confident in your welding or have the right equipment, then I'd say pay some one to do it for you.

[@user-lv6bk4dt6eToonk]

2013 Can you send me a measurement for a model year Silverado pickup truck?

[@andrewholdaway813]

So what exactly is the purpose of that 'bumper'.

[@arzibanez3924]

Boss I wanted to learn how to weld and become a professional welder someday thank you

[@MakingStuff]

Thanks for watching!

[@craigsuggs]

If your truck came with existing fog lights, could you just splice the existing wire harness instead of running a new switch into the cab?

[@MakingStuff]

Yes that would be possible, but my truck didn't have factory fog lights.

[@Username-cb4fg]

Can a bumper like this be built using the Tig welding process? Or is Mig better?

[@MakingStuff]

Certain, it you are a good TIG welder.

[@sharkdegrijze]

hey im looking to also get my first welder for this, what would you recommend? im also looking to get one because i will be learning this coming semester and i'd like to do this also as a learning project

[@MrTapanes]

Nice job and it looks great. Is that huge MOVE logo cut into the front optional or mandatory? I like the bumper, but really don't like being forced to advertise for stuff I'm paying for.

[@MakingStuff]

There is an option to have a smaller logo in the lower corner of the bumper.

[@Movebumpers]

Hey there! As Bob said, we do have an option to shrink and move the bumper. Some customers even choose to fill in the logo during the fabrication process. Check out the site for more info!

[@Anomic-mo9ji]

You can also skip the light bar option and cut your own light bar opening right where the logo is and DIY a bracket

[@Martyimgay]

How big of square do I need to cut out? My move bumper doesn’t have the holes I’m adding them

[@MrGoodman1998]

They don't make one for the mitsubishi raider

[@MrKittycat1337]

About how long did it take you to weld this all together?

[@MakingStuff]

About 2 days to weld and grind. I took my time as not to warp the metal with a bunch of heat.

[@michaelhammer5544]

Great video. I too made my bumpers for front and rear. Really like that raptor liner. How much do you recommend to do the front and back bumpers ? 4 bottle or 6 bottles. Also how much primer did you need for both front and rear bumpers ? Thanks

[@MakingStuff]

It took two coats of liner for each bumper and each coat took 1 bottle. So for both front and rear bumper it took a total of 4 bottles.

[@voodoowylde]

Looks great, but what did you do for the inner fender skirts? did you shorten them or re attach them to a different location because they usually attach to the bumper where it curls around to the wheel opening.

[@MakingStuff]

You must have fast forwarded over that part, lol. I shortened mine but did not reattach them to the bumper. Have had no issues with it flapping in the wind at highway speeds etc.

[@bobfuqua384]

Love your videos ! Do you live in Tennessee ? Just looking at he trees and grass , looks familiar .

[@MakingStuff]

Yes I do!

[@bobfuqua384]

@@MakingStuff Alright !

[@daverobertson3519]

😊😊😊

[@dyllinkinman4150]

How much raptor liner did it take to cover the bumper? I recently purchased a rear bumper from move and trying to figure it how much coating is needed. Thanks! Great video!

[@MakingStuff]

I used 2 bottles. One for each coat (2 coats). There was about a 1/3 bottle left over each coat.

[@serrynurvue6653]

What sizes of the plates you're using.

[@chaseschlafmann1239]

Nice job man! I'm thinking about doing one for my GMC Sierra and I want tondo the grill guard bumper. This turned out great..... curios how is your Berliner coating holding up? And how much was it? I can powder coat for 300.

[@MakingStuff]

It still looks like it did on day one. I'm really happy with how the bedliner turned out. The complete kit was around $150 and it had enough to do 2 bumpers with plenty left over. Here is a link to it. amzn.to/3hV8z0P

[@rubes1688]

How the coating holding up?

[@MakingStuff]

Great! It's looks just as good as the day I applied it.

[@summerli2700]

Hi friend. The video is awesome. Would you like to try our Boslla 4modes led headlight bulb? I have contacted you on ins. Hope to work with you, thanks.

[@allangoodger969]

Should have made it a little different by putting an Aussie bull bar on it.

[@MakingStuff]

Move does have models with bull bars.

[@allangoodger969]

@@MakingStuff Thanks for that. Unfortunately they look too light to be considered a bull bar in Australia.

[@stuffsethmakes]

is that Negan on that back wall????

[@MakingStuff]

Yes, Negan and Daryl

[@jgomez7822]

Making stuff where are you located at

[@MakingStuff]

Tennessee

[@chiefwraps7711]

Why on earth would you disconnect the battery? Totally unnecessary. Good job on the beveling and welding.

[@brucewillers6528]

If you don’t you can fry your computer

[@paulhooker516]

Would last ten to fifteen years longer without the bedliner. Stuff chips and collects nasty stuff in a pocket behind the coating. Don't believe me. Look it up. Powder coating is about the same price without the... extra oxidation.

[@DayvidSlice]

😢 they have jeep renegade but not for patriot. Lame.

[@dereksimenac8844]

Why would you spend $500+ for bumper when you can buy one for $600 that is already welded and powder coated

[@Viajero69]

Please list some options for $600 bumpers. I haven't been able to find anything that matches this price point.

[@MakingStuff]

@Viajero69 Me neither.

[@Anomic-mo9ji]

I think this guy is talking about those light gauge Amazon bumpers that run about $600? Those are too flimsy to even be in the same conversation as a Move
