Looks good! Nicest pre-runner bumper I've seen for a Dodge. Any pictures of the rear bumper?

I like it.... my only concern is that the skid plate would look funny with my tiny 35's on stock suspension.

OMFGBBQ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is EXACTLY what ive been wating for some one to build. How much?

PS, could you ask what lift, tires/rims ( including width and backspacing ) that the truck on the page is running looks like a 6" with 325/65s on 18x10 with 4.5bs but just wanna make sure.

PPS, what about the foglights?

The bumper that is in the pic is $1,600 and you get the lights Hella 4000, skid plate, powder coated, and all tig welded. The bumpers are made of a mix of 2" .120 wall and 1 3/4" .120 wall, and the good news is that they are 100% bolt on you just need to drill 2 holes.

And vision you are correct on everything but I will need to confirm the rim width.

I should mention that the bumpers do get cheaper if you want them mig welded, with out lights and tabs they will work with you.

How much w/o

I dont see where all the money goes.

I'm a OK fabracator and know I could build something just as good but better looking for alot less.

Seriously take away the fancy lights and skid plate and it looks very basic and not so good looking. I wouldnt have a problem spending that kind of money on a bumper that had more time and style put into it

Looks like some guy like myself with a bender decided to start bending tube and selling bumpers....that all.

For $1,600 I was expecting something really trick

Great product though and I hope your buddy makes it

I am not sure where they came up with the price you would need to call the shop I just told them that i would put up the link to see if anyone was interested. They are a little more than average fabricators they mostly try to do offroad race/prerun vehicals and figured they would try the bumper thing. Here is the link to my truck click on projects and it is Nates Tacoma.

yeah theres no way i could spend 1600 on that, dont need the lights as i have some but do need the light tabs, i was thinking more like 600 maybe 700 which is still high for a bumper to me but possible.

If you make one that looks good and works good ( personally i think the one shown here is really nice looking ) id by it. plus you wouldnt have to ship id drive down to corona.

That really does look good, but the $$ seems high.
