Andy...you need to ***** the truck....the entire truck please!

 

haha what do you mean!

 

pics of said wheels

BTW nice job on the bumper.

 

Nice rear bumper, so with your tickets saying diffrent colors you must have gotten out of them?

 

I like the old bumper a lot better, sorry, it just flowed a lot better.

 

I'll leave you with one said picture.. I'll take more tomorrow when I get the bumper on and painted :)

The rims are painted gunmetal/graphite

 

oh I agree, but It also did nothing for coverage if I did hit somthing. But It will flow alot better when The truck starts to take a beefier shape. Bu who knows I might make another one down the road.

 

heh nah I paid them in full, along with a court appearance. It was back when I had a summer when no cop liked my truck. My truck is basically the same and I havnt had any trouble in years

 

oooo I like the rims!

 

yeah me too, I didnt ever really like the shiny polished look. I liked black, but I like how this color looks its somthing different.

 

Your old one was what I based mine off of and then made a bunch of adjustments.

 

Looking very nice!

 

Bumper and truck is looking good Andy.

You should check out this license plate holder out. it has a license plate light and a third brake light that are all leds.

Rock Hard 4x4 Parts - Shopping Cart

 

thanks, yeah I'll look into that. I have a setup kinda worked out but If it fails I might go for that

 

Andy, the rims look great that color, much better than black.

 

Finshed the bumper today. Ended up adding a 2" reciever to it for a hitch. I have pics up until the new fame mounts I added before I closed up shop. I'll get more pics tomorrow of it on. I'm glad I put it in the bumper so I dont have the extra hitch hanging below, thanks for the persuasion guys

hole cut through for the reciever


welded front and back


added some tubes for strength and some small gussest on the sides


plate cut and drilled for safety chain part of the hitch


bumper fully welded (the chain plate is still tacked in the pics) and ground ready for paint. My welds on the seam were'nt high enough to be grinded down to the same level as the tube, so it looks meh but I'll live




some quick shots of the first coat of paint

 

Jesus, that aint movin!

Have you thought of throwing some bar to wrap around the rear bed sides?

 

yeah I have been throwing around the Idea of either making some mini sliders that I can bolt on and run along the rear bedside. Or making a lower part to the bumper that wraps around the sides a bit. I'll have to look at it a while to see how I can do it, and not make it look like hell either.

 

Look at Shadow03 or somethin like that. He has a nice rear bumper that has that.

 

Got the bumper all done and mounted today. and I got into making **** and I made some hi-lift brackets and some bed supports, I'll prolly run without a gate at the dunes





I came damn close to hitn the spare thing. about 1/8" away heh.


hi-lift brackets


with and without cover



some shots of the bed supports. I was originally going to do just the sides. but I made a crossbar, holds my plate anyways.





may be lame, but i'll rock it

 

that turned out nice. i need to build me one

 

thanks, I'm not sure If I like it all gloss, or if I should go flat black though.

 

looks great as it is. just throw som dirt on it if u dont like the gloss :)

 

looks good man, i like, the built in receiver is definitely a good idea.

 

Looking good Andy.

How much did that thing cost you in materials?
