Hey ARES......................I have the twin to your truck.

 

My front isn't finished and I don't really like how it turned out- it's made of 1.75" .120 wall DOM (at least it's stronger than it looks). I really made it to house the trans cooler... It will be plated and have a different brush guard soon enough...



Rear is made from 4x8" .188 wall 1010 - only took about an hour to make and it's welded to the hitch and has 2 3/8" mounting plates...

 

Those are nice looking bumpers! I really like your hydroboost setup too

 

Yeah, some mad max bling right here- I like it!

 

You know the more compliments you get the more I regret not putting that bumper on my truck.

 

Falcon1,

I considered building mine to replicate a buckstop, but after working up all the costs I decided it was about even money. I work as a manufacturing engineer and I have to process parts every day and then decide to make them in house or send them out. Believe me I would have loved to take it on but the level of fab skills needed was above mine.

Here are some items to consider:
Steel & tubing as I had nothing lying around.
Tube bending, bracket cutting, press brake work.
Welding, grinding, and sanding.
Powdercoat and fasteners.
My time.

Materdiesel,

The hydroboost setup has worked well beyond my expectations, as far a seat of the pants improvements, it did for braking, what the fuel pin, 3200 spring, injectors, 16cm housing and HTT Stage III did for the motor.

 

Here's mine.

 

Awesome, if you don't mind I might hit you up PM if I get going on a setup like that for mine. Are there any threads/writeups on it?

 

you waited to long ryan you finally gave in....and let me buy that off of you...i mean come on it would still be sitting in your yard making more rust anyway....it looks better on my truck then in the lawn and it probably made your wifey happy
