FREE SmittyBuilt Bumper...

Saw the ad this morning on here, Called within 20 mins of posting...Got to LA around 5:30 tonight after my DR. Appoinment...

Keith said its been on craigslist for a year or something and noone wanted it, he coulda put it on here and sold it...But After a year of it sitting, he needed it out...

The pics are dark, I just got done putting it on...Then reading through 7 pages of unread threads...



Hellas need to be moved..

MOVED

I want one of those for my 4runner.

Are you going to keep the Hellas behind the grill?

Wow, a year on a craigslist and no one wanted it? I sold my smittybuilt front and rear bumpers for $100 a piece a little over a year ago. Some people love those bumpers, I had 3 guys who wanted to buy mine. I had a guy drive from LA to San Diego just to buy one of them from me. Any rust on the ends of the tubes? I'm not really a fan of the rear bumper, but I liked the front bumper. I always planned on cutting the hoop off the top though

It's a long shot, but I wonder if it could be that same bumper...

Ya, I'm still waiting on my turn....I'm looking for that killer deal on some 31's up here. My luck, I'll find that deal while I'm down there in So Cal between Jan March.....!

But I did come up on a new 1" BL from a friend, so that kinda makes up for it....a lil

hey, scoob... instead of moving the lights, why dont you cut the stinger off and maybe lengthen it so that it comes down between the hellas and the head lights?

or maybe get rid of the stinger altogether and use the tubes as a base to make a custom light bar?

nice score, even tho i hate those bumpers with a passion...
no offense...

That makes perfect sense troy...
I had to read that once ore twice...
umm, Ill have to get a few inches of this tube, cut it in the middle, then cut the bottom of each side off, move it over ~2"
hmm..You make a really good point...
