so this isnt my gen of truck or color but it was a nifty pic i found online of not having a bumper on.... so i broke out the paint program(first time i may ever have....) and here is what i came up with.

materials will be 1.25" dom tubing. .250 wall(thus the dom)
probly 1/4" thick skid.
and 1/4 think frame rungs to the bumper
this is a pretty easy design i think but just comes down to material and time. anyways here is my way rough crappy paint bumper.



told ya it sucked!!!

 

I would box it in some for some protection.

 

i agree. add some more to cover better. would look nicer also. specially if it aint lifted i think ill look better

 

i dont want it boxed.... if i wanted a boxed and plated bumper i woulda designed one. i want a tube bumper. im more into prerunner stuff
