Actually a painted weld (regardless of the color) can stand out more than a bare weld.

 

not that bad but not that great

 

yeah too bad stuff rusts! otherwise id leave it bare

 

yeah I'm doing tube front and rear.

I might do this one but even make it better!

My buddy and I made him a rear bumper for his prerunner ranger on friday. I might just copy it for the most part. If you guys saw it, you would serioustly cream yourselves. It's so nice. Of course I forgot to take pics!!

 

damn zabeard that looks really good, i actually dont mind the welds to me it adds character

 

hahahahahaha

 

thats why i'm going to let my buddy do my bumper just because it'll probably be finished anyways.

when it comes to the cage i'm going to do all the welding myself.

 

zach your welds look better than mine, but then again i use a arc welder, or a miller 250 mig.

Here is my custom stock rear bumper. Custom dent on the drivers side.

 

zach how did you integrate the hitch into that bumper?

 

there is no hitch on that bumper, if i ever needed a hitch I would make something work with that one.

 

hey zach, your welds are actually pretty good! i guess in your opinion they might not be but to me they're great.

 

i think you could just put it in place of whatever the hell that loop is hangin on to...

 

you could if someone wanted one, i have no use for a hitch anymore. just a tow point.

 

oh you don't need a tow point....you don't get stuck do you??lol, i guess then you can pull others out then.

 

the bigger you are sometimes the bigger the stuck. it happens, need to be ready for it.

 

yeah that's a good point people think they need an f-series to go off the road but they can't see the smaller trucks do better because of weight.

 

zach can you pm me some prices...


1) sliders for reg cab w/ body lift
2) rear bumper for flareside
3) front bumper (cant decide if id want a heavy duty style or a prerunner)


keep in mind im a poor college kid!!.... jk..... but not really

 

heres a few i have

i like Chris's rear bumper

 

Here's mine covered in mud:

Lets see some custom bumpers for some flaresides!!! Lol

 

what would be the difference other than being narrower? All these basic designs would work, just sized to fit a narrower bed/\.

 

Yeah but still... There was someone's rear bumper on a flareside that looked really good I just never saved the pic. Now I'm hoping the picture "resurfaces"

 

Whats the specs on this truck....
