![]() credit to 123vette for the spring idea
This is pretty easy. you will need 2 Pretty long screws 2 Car springs F150 body kit off road bumper Very small drill bit. i think 2mm or smaller. depending on your screw size. Plastic bottle(i used a mountain dew bottle) screw driver. Hobby knife Super glue(nail glue) ok well first get your materials. ![]() (you will need to cut out the middle portion of the plastic bottle. the found part. cut it in half. and the trim it accordingly. trim it last so u get the look you want) Then seperate the small brush guard from the bumper ![]() Then take the small brush guard piece that you removed from the bumper. drill a smalll hole in the top corners like so ![]() Take yout piece of bottle the piece that you cut in half. and trimmed it down just a little.(that way it aint HUGE). lay it over the brush guard,try to get the brush guard in the middle of the plow. (behind the plow shoudl be the brush guard) ![]() Mark you holes with a pen or a marker. and then using the same drill bit(by hand) drill out the 2 spots you marked. Next take your 2 screws and put them threw the holes you made. ![]() Then put a car spring over each screw. ![]() Then screw the plow (with the 2 screws and 2 springs still on) to the brush guard. ![]() Then put the brush guard back on the bumper and apply glue to the inside points. ![]() then put on your bumber ![]() (another pic of it mounted) ![]() And yes i know it is a yellow bumper on the blue f150... i started with the yellow one incase i messed it up. Finally trim it to your liking. and you now have a functional spring loaded plow. comments are welcomed and please let me know what i need to change to make it perfect. i know some steps could have had pics but my camera battery is dead. and i wanted to get some what quality pics.

![]() hahah cool same idea as what i did for my push bar on my flatbed truck cept i used car springs. I was going to make a plow for that truck using the same idea, but i think a 2 liter bottle peice of plastic might not be strong enough to actaully push snow. reinforce it or get somethng else like a sheet of aluminium

![]() @123vette: sorry but i used your idea and incorporated it. i am gonna give some credit to you for the spring idea i was gonna do it but i forgot who made that flatbed lol.
lol the plastic from the bottle,was the only thing i had on hand. lol and i made the tut with that material cause almot everyone has acces to. that is like a base plow. mine will soon have aluminum caning in the middle and then another piece of plastic. i also have to reinforce the back. so it dont just bend i want it to use the springs. |
