    Excellent work. So much more pride of ownership when you build rather than buy.

    Nice work, I like it a lot. A rear bumper is next on my list, after I get my sliders welded on. Seems the rear overhang sorta wants to drag on everything on these trucks.

    I like the bumper. It looks a little like a badlands bumper, but that is not a bad thing. do you know how much it weighs?

    I dig the compound bends around the headlights, how did you do it?

    I made it up as I went. I have a hydraulic pipe bender with a degree plate so making repeated bends/angles is easy. I just made one side and adjusted it so it looked good to me and then made another one for the other side. I spent as much time looking at it and pondering how to go about it as I did actually bending/fitting/welding the dang thing!
