New Pre-runner Bumper....!!

Well, my truck goes to the shop tomorrow morning to get the bumper fabricated. They quoted me $280 for the bumper, and a seperate guy is charging me $30 to do the electrical work. They will be tieing my 4 6" Procomp lights into the stock fog light switch inside of the truck. Pretty Cool huh?? Anyways, i just pulled of the lower piece of the front bumper so it'll be ready tomorrow. More pics to follow!!!

wiring up the lights to the fog switch is simple if you want to do it your self. just use a relay and hook up the factory fog wire to the signal input and then a hot wire a ground and your power out wire to the lights and you are set!

I'm going to make it kinda like Goodysgotacuda's bumper, except there will be a lower piece on the bumper w/ a skid plate.

Dang I would so buy that bumper from you, but your a little far. I assume shipping would be pretty expensive too.

Yeah, i really like your bumper, so i'm going to borrow the upper part of your design but the bottem will be a little different. Yeah, i'm going to be cutting that little 3inch part. It would look gay if i kept it like that. Also, for all, the lower part of the bumper is sold to a fellow Yuman.

Well, it's taking a little longer, so they giving me a discount. Final product should be complete Wednesday night. I snuck in today and took a picture. They still have to finish the bottem, then add the skid plate, then paint it all black. So here's the pic. I'll post the final product up tomorrow night.
