I wish I had the skill to build my own bumper like that, saves so much money.

Looks really good, looks like you don't have to worry about hurting your truck if you ever hit anything with it!

it was mostly my buddy, hes built a couple before so he kind knew where to start. but it deffinitely took a lot of welding and cutting and welding again to get it there. we were both pretty happy with how it turned out. now the next project is the rear bumper. and thank you!

Awesome! When you're ready to build one for my truck let me know! Haha

whenever you can make it down to killeen haha it doesnt take too long hell we used cutoff wheels on a grinder for all our cuts now he has a plasma cutter so it will probably take half the time to make it. its a matter of how well you can make the cuts. but seriously thank so much guys its good to get some feedback from people that know trucks! cant wait to get back and hopefully meet up with some of you

Looks good man...you gonna open it up and thow a winch in there?

Great fab work...and good thinking welding it on the truck. I made the mistake when I made my bumper on my 03 of welding the bumper mounts off the truck. Warped it a little and made it impossible to mount back on the truck.

yea thats whats nice about it is before we even started fab we made sure id have room to make a winch cradle and then all id have to do is cut the hole for my rollers. but i cant take credit for the idea of welding it on the truck that was all my buddy hes a fabricational genius. just wait till you guys see what we do with the rear bumper should be just as beefy and mean lookin
