Check it out, finally finished up my new bumper. Built it on a barrel in our laydown when i got off work early. quarter inch plate throughout, with 3/8 wall pipe for the grill guard. two grinders, an arc welder and a torch to make the tow hooks and bend the steel around the uprights. and like 80 hours. im a mechanic not a welder, so there was some pretty serious grinding. I also used it as a chance to mount a bypass filter setup i made with the hose press at work.

Let me know what you think. yes i know its getting a little redneck

 

DAM----whats its weigh????

 

Wow, looks neat, I just cant imagine how heavy it must be. I would think it would be detrimental to front end parts

 

lol, im afraid it may be. i measured the frame height before and after and there was an inch difference...
weighed the truck on the way home last shift and it was 2400 on the front and 1900 on the rear when i was running empty.

 

Dude! That smart car basher is huge!!!

 

Pitty your next Bambi----moose my do some damage but at least you have a chance---my Road Armour front + the Warm 16.5 winch are just over 300lbs on my second genner,i had to lift/mount with my floor jack,but the Kore Recon front spring/Bilstein 5100 shocks are fairly stiff.No problems so far in 4+ years.PS ---looking at a Buckstop Baja for my 2007 dually next year

 

Wow - I thought my bumper was big and heavy. That looks like something from The Road Warrior movie

 

sharp lookin truck there dwieler. how do you find the lights mounted back that far?
that a ranchhand or homebuilt there evil?

 

i dont know. I think its a production bumper. If its home made - its a really good job.

I traded my stocker for it when I was in montana

 

lol, not a bad deal.

 

Post removed for the use of profanity.

 

Ya thats a bit of a nuisance. Id offer some advice on lights, but the ones i got are waaaay to expensive. Very similiar to a cat hid light, and it makes it like daylight. eyes have to adjust when you have to turn em off.

 

Love those HIDS---but to much mutcho $$$$---a pair of LightForce 240 Blitz HID run 1400.00CAN

 

yup, sounds about right.

 

Mr Evil, how come you garage isn't full of truck parts, engines and turbos. Nice garage buddy, abit to clean for me.

Nice bumpers guys. I'm just running the stock stuff, reason, I'm a cheap skate. If I hit a moose and had $9k, damage, I'll take the money and run. My truck isn't worth that much to start with.
