I finally got some pics of my truck, I had promised along time ago. Had to borrow a friends digital camera to cheap to buy one myself! I am thinking about building this bumpers to sell to the public. This one is 5/16" 6061 T-6 aluminum, I can pick it up with one arm and it is stronger than a heavier steel bumper. The mounting brackets are all 1/2" T-1 steel. The bumper supports 8000-1200lb warn winches. Let me know if anyone is interested. DJ

Hey, did you take those mirrors off of a truck that was built 1998 or after? Cause they didn't put those style of mirrors on the 1994-1997 body's. Dont know why,, but that was actually the first thing I noticed about your truck. I guess it was cause the pictures load slowly from the top to the bottom. But very nice truck by the way. what brand of lift do you have? Skyjacker???

Yes I did take the mirrors off of a newer truck I am very happy with them, except they do not have heaters but I am going to install pads behind the mirrors. Yes the lift is Skyjacker. <br><br>DJ

Glad you can pick up the bumper with one arm because after you sell the other arm to pay for it you would need another person to help ya. <br>lol<br>That looks great and I would love to buy on. but i'm going to loose a leg when I buy my pulling clutch and I can't loose my arm because I dive a stick. <br>aaron

The mirrors are a bolt on deal the only thing I had to make was 2 little plates to cover the hole behind the door panel so that the mirror bolts pull on the inner door skin and outer. just used 14 gauge sheet metal and drilled three holes, fairly simple. I got them off of ebay they were barely used the person wanted power mirrors so they took them off I paid $100 there is a set or two on ebay right now actually http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=1874367510 that should be the link. The picture is in front of a buddies house, in Bellingham, WA. It's actually been too nice around here I wish it would get nasty so we get some snow pack in the hills for snowmobiling. I'm not quite sure yet what its going to cost me to build them and sell. I built the one on my truck in my spare time and I got aluminum from work, I had my buddy powder coat it at his work for free so I think I have a grand total of about $40 bucks into it plus the lights. At this point I am just trying to see how much interest there is in stuff like bumpers and custom off-road fabrication, I have a Toyota that is set up for rockcrawling and this is the tow rig. I am thinking of starting up a custom off-road fab shop. I am sick of making $$$$ for someone else and looking to maybe start my own business. Thanks for all the input.

<br><br>I dont think you'll have any problems there. <br>Looking at the basic &quot;Look&quot; of the bumper, you should'nt have any problems selling those in a fab shop.<br>Open your business up with internet advertising and soon, you'll be selling those around the country.<br><br>Also, you might want to consider making a package deal. <br>Fabricate a front bumper, like the one you have, and a back bumper that would match.<br>Maybe even some step tubes down the side, plus a skid plate up front! <br> ;D<br>I think you'll do just fine!<br><br>Good luck!<br><br>Rich

If you can make and sell them for a nice price I would love to place an order. They really look mean.<br>Aaron

DJ <br>Great looking bumper. If you can build them and your only in WA I'll drive down. I'd take three if there they're well priced, I know my two buddies would be in on that. Can you please post some close up pic's of your mirror install. The truck looks great. <br><br>Rowan
