I need to build a new front bumper for my Mastersbilt... mine is toast. It's also older.
How wide are the new style bumpers? My old one is 62".

wider than the max track width in rulebook.
Wider than a standard width enclosed trailer opening.Quote:

The 1.5" lower bent bar the nose attaches to is approximately 72" wide out side to outside
I've seen those.... I don't have a problem with door openings on my trailer.Quote:

I start with a 72 in piece of tubing then bend I got tired of bending the ends from contact so I make last bend on rf corner replaceable with a piece of 1.25 tube welded in piece of 1.50 tube slip in bumper drill hole thru both pieces bolt together your done it you bend tip just bolt in new end .Works great for us guys who can't go pay 100$+ for a new one on yes when you get it like you want make a jig to build them in .
I like the way you think....Quote:

that's the biggest difference
I make all mine single tube like longhorn and others the old style Grts with 2 tubes are a pain in rear to make..
Thanks for your info... might find a used Rocket bumper and play with that.
