I made a bumper with scrap material.
I carved and cut the form with hand saw/ knife/file and bend the plastic with the help of a heat gun.
The first part of the bumper, the skid plate. I drill holes in the bottom plate of the buggy, bolted the plastic material, carved and bend in situ.
Then I bolt the 2nd part, the front guard, at he high and angle I want. I cut opening for the front wheels in all potential angle and overblown situation. Then I round up the corner and add 4 of 1 1/4" holes in the meddle . It make the bumper more light it reduce the rigidity of the original material and very useful to carry the buggy.
By using 2 part bumper, the skid plate part act as a shock absorber too. I hit trees, cement block , side walk a few time so hard that with out the bumper , it will be a total lost for the buggy. And if you do free ride in big opening, unbolt the front guard and ride with a thought skid plate only.
I didn't cut flush the bolts head and nuts of the skid plate. I worn it self on pavement and give nice night show!
