Otherwise, I like it - not my cup of tea, but I do like it a lot.

the rear is straight.... the problem I ran into when designing it was having the tailgate still be able to open and not hit it..... I think we still had half an inch to an inch to go in adjustment, but I am usually very cautious when I do installs...
I got rear ended by a lady in a minivan two days ago and thank goodness I had my HITCH IN MY RECIEVER. Her front end was all tore up. I double checked my rear bumper and my reciever plug ins. She knew I was pissed, but no damage to me , so I let her go without taking information. I've been thinking about upgrading my bumpers ever since. AND THOSE LOOK REAL NICIN !
Nice looking truck bro! You need to go out and ram something with that big as* bumper. Great job.
Love the color btw.
I plowed over a few small trees and what not today.... but nothing huge....YET... couldnt find a prius when I was out there...LMAO

Give me a call when you are ready......I sent out 2 sets today to guys from the forum... and one guy in maine got his last week
The name is in the skid plate for airflow... and just like anything it the way to brand the product so someone looks and it and say OH!.... I can do a logo delete, but I wouldnt advise it if you live in a warm climate.... the silver one on top is just for show... it doesnt ship with the bumper unless someone asks for it
just FYI.... there is a full light bucket, but the lights in there dont fill it up.... its not just a light tab floating so the lights are very well protected..... I just saw from a few angles it looked like there wasnt one.... and one of the best things about our bumper is how it follows the body lines... look around the grille at how perfect it fits compared to some that are crooked with uneven gaps
If I bought those, I think I would not be able to not run into/over everything I saw. Those things look awesome! And functional, which is great. What gage steel did you use and what's the coating? Lots of angles and welds must make for lengthy fab times.
Great looking truck, though that drop hitch is KILLING your departure angle! j/k

that drop hitch is there for the day only... towing a trailer earlier.... then its back to its rightful owner.... the bumper is 3/16" plate steel construction throughout... and the angles create the strength, but do amount to a lot of time welding.... by doing more angles and less flat pieces give it just as much if not more strength than the competition with their long flat sections of 1/4", yet it still tips the scales at a little over half of what the main competition does.....
