what brand are the bumpers and sliders? sweet lookin truck! looks like the front bumper would be less weight than a ARB.......
can you use a winch with the front bumper?

The front bumper is a Badland Bumper, the rear is a Downey Off-Road, and the sliders are Trail-Gear. The front bumper is lighter than an ARB and is for a winch, but it did make the truck nose dive so I have to rethink the front coils. I'm thinking of running the Tundra coils.

Ha your right about that!

Trucks looks great!. I looked at the Bad lands stuff before I decided to make my own, Of the aftermarket tube bumpers I liked there's best. Shipping is the companies biggest issue though.

Badland's is about 20 miles from by house, so shipping wasn't a problem. I was looking at the MileMarker 8000, you can get these through Costco for $329. The bumper needs some lights, and also I got a HiLift to mount on the toolbox. I need a CB to with my antenna, and some Tundra coils to pick my nose back up:sport_box

Some updated pictures. New HiLift mounted on the back of the tool box. The lights and CB come in this week.
