Sent from my AT&T iPhone 4.

Pretty sweet dude! Can't wait to see the finished product!

pretty neat!

If it looks anything like your sig pic, it's a nice touch! Ya don't see many lights sporting on the front sport bumper, most are nestled in the grill. Good Job.

SWEET! This is going to be a fun project to follow!

Looks like a fun project

Oh la la, this looks nice! Im staying tuned.

Thanks everyone...I'll post up updates as soon as I get them done!

gonna look sweet man.

Haha sorry buddy, dont think I wanna mess with shipping with this thing. I got a local person looking at it Wednesday!



Thanks everyone!

Threw a coat of some cheap paint on ($1 a can crap) just to make it NOT look like total ass because I'm driving it with just this and no bumper. I took these pics to kinda show everyone how much MORE clearance this bumper is going to give me...I'm pretty excited. I acuired some new trails, and without this new bumper, I would destroy my sport bumper. There will be a skid plate, but thats the last thing. And no I don't have a leak, I made a mess changin my oil I will be triming my wheel wells to make it looks cleaner once we get the tubes up on the side...

Ok...the bumper is 90% done. Put about 36 man hours in it this weekend. I looks amazing.

The bumper is designed to still crumble in an accident, but is sturdy enough to hold up to pushing over trees and with hold some impact if I was to run it into something(parts under the lights). The bolts holding the skid plate to the cross member is a grade 5 bolt. So if I was to hit some hard enough(re-end someone, or just an collision), it would sheer the bolt, hopfuly saving my front suspension.

90% done means.... the open area in the center is still open for a reason. My new 12,000lb winch will be in thursday. Once that is in, I will get that hooked up. Then, there will be a total of 9 lights on the front of my truck. 4 of them will be the small rectangle lights, those will be used as my fog lights, then 4 of them are my 6" HELLA ff's, then the once is a light I'm going to run to a switch, and it will shine on the winch for night use.

Ok, enought talking...some pics.

Side bars



Plate used for skid plate...5/16 thick


Removable support



Skid plate...sorta finished


The bumper its self is light enough to curl with one arm


Finished project...except for bedlined









There was a couple minor things I touched up after the pics... but here is how she sits now. On my garage floor, letting the bedliner "cook" for 24 hrs

A couple more from the day...




We tacked everything together...then pulled the bumper off and welded everything solid.

Cant wait to see it mounted, looking very nice.
