thanks. that is around what i thought it would be. that is still a pretty good price for a box style set of bumpers. I like the look of the box a lot more than tube.

Got ant pics of that license plate holder or how you did it?
Didn't see the front bumper build thread yet, going to in a minute, but the back bumper looks real beefy. I like it. good work.
I got a stick welder. Maybe i should learn how to use it.

hey guys, just wanted to share some pics of the rear bumper that ricky and i have been working on. its pretty stout, i used 3"x6" and 3"x4" rec tubing that is a 1/4" thick. i still have some stuff to do. some touch up welding(because I'm sorta of a newbie welder ) , a few gussets, couple shackle tabs, etc... anyway here are some pics, don't be to harsh
used some tape as a cutting guide when we cut off the roll pan, dented corners, etc..
ricky doing a lil
got mud?
done hacking the bed up!
built some frame brackets, (3/8" plate)
^still need to gusset them.
heres what i started with.
then made some 22.5 degree cuts
then we cut some angles to meet up with the smaller side pieces, and the wheel well.
heres how it sits now.
not perfect but I'm happy
