I have no idea what I wanna do with this yet. lol. Got figure it out as I am gonna have to custom AKA "redneck engineer" something. As the back end of my frame isn't exactly OEM any more. lol.

Thanks again Jerry. Oh crap, I forgot to give you those shocks.

 

yeh...i remembered when we got to the bank. bring them saturday in case i make it down there.

got bolts etc etc etc @ LOWES probably spent too much on them, but I got what I needed and I needed plenty between my bumper, fender flares , and joe's pan. but the meter expired before we even got there, the little guy is not feeling well, so there were not gonna be a million stops.

 

Wow, sorry he's sick, man! Well wish'n!

I hear ya, Brandon... I just, for some reason, though of you turning it into a HD bumper, kinda like that guy at Rausch(the guide?), but a lil more beefy with hooks, corners, with the hitch in the center/maybe bottom.

 

thanks Mark. yeh, right, who the hell gets sick in summer? my kid I guess.

that bumper you speak of is pretty much exactly what I'm working on for my truck now

degreased and pressure washed the rear underside of the truck, even the frame. just was looking at it, appears all dry. will be getting painted and undercoated today.

have to cut the body just underneath the tailgate.....have to bring the bumper into the garage to get some good measurements......today's project.

 

here it is...



ya know....instead of this...

cellphone pics ....meh

 

If I remember right Jerry, you were one of the last ones, if not the last one to get one of those bumpers. I don't think he's making them any longer?

 

as far as I know, that is accurate.

 

progress



primered



painted



and that part got painted too.....undercoated on the inside

 

aaaaand DONE!!!

the rest if the truck needs some good attention, but slowly but surely this is getting done.

 

Good deal, can't wait to see you take some paint off that the hard way.

 

me too.

26 inches to the bottom of the bumper by the way. I gots alot of room to "grow"

 

Well within the PA limit of 31".

 

yes ineed

 

Stupid inspections!!!! Dude, that looks REALLLLLLLLLLLLLY GREAT! Is that similar to the Rausch guys bumper? (the guide dude)? Sorry I can't remember,.... where did you get this? I REALLY like it!

his looks like it's a 2x4 piece of steel, capped at both ends and without the receiver.

hiya brandon and lumpy

 

Oh yeah... I remember now. BTW, ..... uhhhhm,..... WHERE'D YA GET IT!?!?!?!? ....<<< maybe you'll see that one! hahahaha. Jk.. just curious. I LOVE IT! I like Mak's too... but too heavy for my desires(400# loaded with fuel, aired up 35, hilift, etc.)....still, I LOVE the more ARB looking rear ones! Like that IronBull one I was trying to share.... on here?

 

Hey chef in case you were distracted by the photo.

 

HAHAHAHA! Holy..... seriously? I had to look back to see if he'd edited that, ...that's how overwhelmed with 'INFO' I am today! haha.

Thanks, b!

I remember that, now... and those are REALLY nice! Seriously..if they had one for mine, wrap around, for that price? (wrap around, meaning, ..you know, the side portions for 4runners).... I'D BE ON IT LIKE A WET BLANKET! lol.
