Did you weld it or just bolt it? I have a BIL that works in abody shop and a big part of thie business is fixing trucks that have had aftermarket bumpers welded to the frames, thag get a small bump and bending the frames. Small, not meaning bump a orange cone, but bump into a VW at 35 mph.

In order to upload pics to DTR first click the Memeber Photos from the top menu and once that comes up look for upload photos on the top right.

Otherwise you can just post them online as others mentioned and link to that pic by using [IMG]Photo's link location[/IMG]

Lookin good! I have a homemade one with shackles and a reciever and I like it a good bit but I still want to add a brush guard like on yours. I have pics in my gallery if anyone has suggestions.

Aftermarket bumpers look great! Make a pickup into a bulldozer

Nice clean looking Bumper!
Black Nerf bars and a Tough Country Rear bumber.... On that color truck ..... it would look outstanding!

Sell the tool box and get one that fits inside the bed... (mine is black diamond plate).
