Hefty Fabworks bumpers

Macland · Oct 29, 2011

Showcase your Hefty here! No bashing this is for people to show off their bumpers, not debate which one is better.

Here's my beast!

And here's mine next to MississippiGal's

ryandavenport · Oct 29, 2011

Thats a sweet front bumper. I may pick up one of those after I tag my first deer lol

Macland · Oct 29, 2011

I'm hoping IF I ever hit a deer *knock on wood* that this bumper will do the trick at minimizing all damage.

MississippiGal · Oct 31, 2011

Those surely are some sweet X's!

Macland · Oct 31, 2011

You know it. Now post up your pics! Your X did kinda influence my decision and all

Ricel · Oct 31, 2011

Aw that's nice looking.

OKXterra · Oct 31, 2011

If i wasnt thinking of selling the X i would be saving up for a Hefty!

HEFTY! HEFTY! HEFTY!

So as I was traveling home on I-70 through a construction zone a semi decided o merge into my lane while I was right beside him (doing approx. 45mpf). Being as I didn't want to wrestle with a semi I decided taking my chances busting through the big orange construction barrels. I didn't even feel it when I hit it and the thing went flying. There is a tiny dent where it hit the quarter panel and a little orange paint but the paint wiped off and the hefty had no marks at all. With a plastic bumper there is no doubt I would have at the minimum had front and damage and possibly would have set off the air bags. I am very happy I purchased this bumper and it may have just paid for itself right there.

TomsRedX · Dec 7, 2011

Damn dude, you're lucky there wasn't a concrete barrier there. Glad the bumper did itd job.

Macland · Jan 31, 2012

Hefty's newest bumper for the 2nd Gen Xterra. Thoughts?

I'm happy with my bumper design.

Matt2558 · Jan 31, 2012

O like it much better than his other...Only issue I see is that plate will be weak holding up the bars.. And really thats only if you would you is as a recovery point... (Bars that its)

That is being said based on what I can see... Im sure its rock solid

I like that better than yours....well, I like the LOOK of yours, but the frame protection of that one. That really is the only thing that kept hanging me up on the hefty you have. Did he do away with the old design or is this a second style he's gonna offer?

Jmac289gt · Feb 1, 2012

I like the overall look of this one, is there a side shot you have to show everyone both angles of what it looks like?

Macland · Feb 1, 2012

He's only posted this picture up that I've seen so far.

The more I look at this one the more I like it better. I'll change my statement from earlier to I'm stilly happy with my purchase lol.

JGBimle · Feb 1, 2012

His new design is nice but looks wise I still prefer the previous

Ditto^^ and I like the protection/ looks of the old railing hugging the quarter panels on the side. Hopefully he left an opening in the top of this so you can actually access the winch without removing the grill

Macland · Mar 28, 2012

Welcome Xebra! I love the pics you take and your bumper.

More pics of Hefty's new design:

Hopefully this picture answers your question. They are 3/8" solid steel uprights which attach directly to the frame:
(During Redesign)

Yes, there is:

The bar between the uprights is contoured to the hood:

A few different angles after powdercoat:

(Click on me...Twice!)

If someone wants a specific angle let me know and I'll shoot it!

ok, here's a specific one for ya....sit on the ground, infront of one of the frame rails, make sure the flash is on, and snap a pic of the bumper mount/frame rail I'm looking to see if there's less frame rail exposed than on mac's version.

Macland · Mar 28, 2012

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's what he meant. That looks really good.

That right there is dead sexy. Bravo.

ChiXterra · Mar 28, 2012

Really like the new design! Thanks for posting the pictures!

drbandkgb · Mar 28, 2012

See thats a fail to me... IF he redesigned the bumper.. Seems like you could have added the spot for the new grills..
I understood on the older one..

Not bashing..

Agreed, that kind of sucks.

ryandavenport · Mar 29, 2012

This has me rethinking designing my own. That is the exact shape I was going for. I would just want different lights.

I think if they lowered the center section it would look like Xebra said bucktoothed.

Some others I was able to upload this evening:

Low hoop design with (I believe optional license plate/winch hole cover)

I like this one more then the first one. Seriously that thing is awesome.

ryandavenport · Mar 29, 2012

This is the picture that does it for me

Ricel · Mar 29, 2012

Pretty boss! Ok after seeing 'behind the scenes' footage on this DVD-on-TV, I'm sold. Late this year ill put in an order for a first gen.

Here's my two cents. If you're going to get an aftermarket bumper and you go with one that requires the removal of the stock bumper and a lot of plastic cutting, what's a little more cutting IF you're going to take the next step and add a winch? My grill is still intact. But at the moment I've got no plans for a winch. What's the difference in cutting?
