3rd gen tube bumper almost done...
Well, I thought I'd snap a few pics even though its not painted yet and the dimple died step plates aren't on it yet. Those last 2 things should be done this week and then I'll post the whole thread. Brian at streetacos@hotmail.com hooked it up again, just like with the sliders and I can't wait to get started on the front bumper with winch plate.

I wanted the quarter panel protection to angle out to give me as much cushion as possible if sliding by objects. Once its painted satin black and the bottom of the rear quarter panels are blacked out it'll flow with the runner more.

Not wanting to criticize your work... the bumper loooks great... but I would paint the lower part of the finder (the part the old bumper used to cover up) the same color as you are going to paint the tube bumper. I'm guessing black??? Then it will look awsome!!!

that's exactly what I'm gonna do, although it will be a flat black instead of a satin black to help that part of the truck be less noticable.

its red but it looks orange-ish in the pics. I like the red and black theme and the lift is coming soon...just trying to figure out how to pay for the tires, gears, and locker.

well, Brian @ streetacos really hooked me up but I'd feel pretty secure in telling anyone that wants one that his prices would be WELL (seriously, the cheapest I've seen is 600 with maybe $50 off if theres some deal and I'd bet my bumper that he'll hook it up for better than that) below the prices I've seen on here for custom bumpers. Also, his quality is GREAT and this thing is SOLID! Brian is a great fab guy and he can do pretty much anything. streetacos@hotmail.com
