Talking Back from powder coating and looking good!

Well, now that spring break rolled around I was able to finish up a few projects, including the front bumper! I have to admit it looks pretty good, especially with the textured powder coated finish. Hopefully i can get around to my w/m setup.

A local business called "Auto-safety Warehouse" had the D-rings, but any supplier of towing companies will have them in various sizes. Im running a 2 or 2.5" Skyjacker lift on the front with airbags in the back on 315/75/16's. I was stoked to pick it up today, the powdercoating made it look awesome...

I felt like I was duped on the coating because they gave me a super low price on the phone, and then it changed when I actually brought it to them. They did do it for me "under the table" in a 24hr turn around for $200 (sandblasted and coated), and frankly, I was so amazed by that and how it looked, I didnt even hesitate to give them the loot. Live and learn.

I dare another cab to run a red light now!

nice

thats typical when you budget anything anymore, maybe youll get lucky, and get a test tap, ive been real close with mine, the closer you get, the smarter the other driver becomes, you going to do a matching rear? kudos, joe.

I built the rear first to carry my tire and then decided I needed a matching front that would be a little more unfriendly to the cabs next time..
