You have to address that bumper. Straighten it, paint the plastics black, and remove the valance.

The valance is already off that was just the only picture I had I already removed it awhile ago. Also the bumper is straight its the plastic clips there broken I'm making a bumper anyway. See this pic is from today no valance. But about it being straightened I cant unless I find new plastic pieces that the clips aren't broken on but I might use a f350 frame it looks like a I beam and cut it with my plasma cutter and build a bumper.

But I just spent money on a snap on plasma cutter and a big ass air compressor so know I can build my bumper lol. I got a awesome steal on the plasma cutter and air compressor my neighbor sold me the snap on plasma cutter for $200 I almost **** when he said $200 I couldn't pull the money out fast enough.

Does it work?




Either way, just because you have the tools doesn't mean you have the creativity to build a bumper.

Yes it does :] only reason he sold it to us so cheap is because he knows well use it he use to tell my dad that he wished his son would rebuild dirt bikes and work outside with him. But yes true but I have a general idea what I'm going to make it look like me and my brother just made a 4 wheeler trailer from a jet skii trailer. We had to get 3inch square stock and make the trailer even because it had a V shape for two jet skiis to sit on it.

Thanks I used my dads tarp he bought for the boat I think it was 100ft by 50ft wide its something overkill for a 21ft boat lol. I used a rope and made a post ran it from my garage second floor to the post tied it to my sisters pick up trucks hitch and notched a two by four and stood it in my bed to support the rope more then I went around with string and tied all the hooks on the tarp in the air onto a boat/trailer and anything and everything.
