If you want to pay shipping and $50 bucks I will send you one from a police cruiser(crown vic) you will just need to make a few brackets to hang it on your truck

Hey guys, I was looking at Dealsofsteel at several and the two that jump out at me look almost the same to me. One is 13 gauge one piece (http://www.dealsofsteel.com/product_...ucts_id=182and) the other is 14 gauge 3 piece (http://www.dealsofsteel.com/product_...roducts_id=536).

Large different in price though. Even though the 3 piece is cheaper and lighter steel, I like the looks of it more (though I can't really tell why, maybe just the truck it's on...).

I might be willing to part with this one if you like it....

if you are nearby, you can have mine for 20 bucks, you come pick it up. made by smittybuilt it needs to be cleaned up and needs a couple of bolts (missing when i bought the vehicle. i have all mounting hardware.

I like those, but up here almost everyone has Westin guards. I wouldn't mind finding something a little bit different. I want a lift before I do anything to to my front end. Unless something comes along that I can't pass up. But I like to do the homework and want to know what I'm getting in advance.

I understand...I got this one in mint shape used. Depending on your uses, you may just look in to getting an off-road bumper. Might be more worth the money, I would have never bought this Westin brand new.

I would love to go with an off-road bumper someday, but I (and Steve from SS) got a nice shock for shipping for up here. I asked about his lift kit and shipping. for UPS Ground for a 90lb box was $300! LOL So when the time comes I'll have him ship it to Seattle and then go on a barge to get up here. That will save me about $150 in shipping. I can only imagine what they would charge for a front bumper!!! LOLOL

seanz0rz, you got any pics of yours, im near dallas so pickup might not be ideal

Here are pics of the 3 peice from dealsofsteel.com




sorry for the giant pics

psraff

Wow thanks for the pics!!! Don't be sorry for the large pics, that really helps. Is it just the pics (mainly the second pic), or does it seem just a little too wide (just by an inch or two)? Or is it flush with the outside edges of the bumper? Overall, I really like the looks of it.

Man, I really like that!

Its justa rubber trim peice, probably to protect the sharp edge.

psraff

As do I. The first time I saw that was on a new Tacoma and I loved how clean looking it was. But then I saw it on Fords, Chevys, Dodges, ..... That what I get for being in a smaller place and people are limited to what you can get. If I have to pay a little extra to get something everyone else doesn't have, I will.

I say make one out of PVC pipe......it has no real function anyways so go with the cheapest material you can. You could also wrap it in duct tape or spray with some mexi-chrome so it looks like real metal

lexustech

i was with ya till you said duct tape, that would just make the thing way too heavy and with gas prices these days forget about it

i like that westin bullbar alot, but with the fat lip bumpers i dont think they would look as good.

A second perspective...sorry the photo is a bit underexposed.

psraff

Yeah, nothing wrong with that. That looks sharp.
