Talking Tailgaters bewarre

Finally got some pics of rear bumper I fabbed up. Total cost was $250 including acetylene and grinder discs. Buddy works at trailer manufac. so I got industrial paint for real cheap. Could of spent a little more time finishing but what the heck, just wanted it on the truck. Tailgaters bewarre-im000134.jpg

Right on guys thanks, just waiting to go back to work so I can get some back up lights and maybe a new shirt. Been so hot and dry up here on the prairies, not much use for clothes, lucky I was wearing shorts. LOL

Thumbs up

Nice work!

Do you have any shots of the backside and the bracing?

No, I didn't grab any of the backside, should of when it was off the truck. Nothing too special, just put some triangle trusses in on the stock brackets to beef them up. The middle part is right up against the hitch frame, so it can't go anywhere if it wanted to.

I think that is really freakin' cool...

Is there any chance you have the dimensions of all the pieces so someone with lesser skills can give it a shot?

I also love the way the rockers look sprayed all the way around. Too cool.
