Looks great! I can't help but wonder if the tail gate will clear or not when it's open. It's hard to tell from the pics.

I absolutly have to have one!!! please please tell us who made it. That is exactly what I have been looking for. If you made it, would you consider just selling the plans/drawings for it? I have access to a machine shop and would have the guy's fab one up for me, if you don't have time. B <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" />

Thanks for all the compliments everyone! Unfortunately I cannot take credit for making the bumper. I met a guy who builds drag cars and welds like nobody’s business. I talked to him about my basic idea, he added some input, and started cranking on it. Some details: The reverse light works with the shifter in reverse right now, I might add a switch to it later. The tailgate does open and lay flat without hitting any part of the bumper – we got it up as high as possible without that happening. I’ve got shackles for it as well but they aren’t on the bumper just yet. The whole thing is powdercoated, but for the front bumper I’ll just throw on a few coats of Gloss black POR-15. Dave – no way am I locking my keys in the truck again! That’s the only time I’ve ever done that too <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" /> I’ll get more pics and a writeup as well on my website. If people are interested, my welder could make more. Contact me through PM or email.
