welders

i'm looking at getting into welding and I want to make my own bumper for my jeep.

i basically have no idea where to start w/ this at all.... I have a basic idea of how to weld and i can figure that out later, but what type of welder should i be looking at getting? new or used?

Thanks.

plenty of info between the search feature and this....
