That, Looks SWEET! i got to ask though, why gloss black? it's a nice look for your truck, the new sliders. Doesn't the box twist when articulating? does it rub on the sliders?

I thought gloss black would look the best, combined with my roll bar and prerunn bar. And the fact that Im not a big fan of flat colours.

Nice bumper and sliders the gloss black is a nice alternative to powder coating. I was thinkin bout putting lights back there too that I have laying around, but it looks like they've got protection.

Loks real nice....now I wanna go get me one...My pocket book hates you Could I ask a favor of you? Since you said the lights stick out about .5"'s could you post a pic from behind that shows the over hang? The one clear shot that shows the light makes it look retty flush but I realize that it's the angle of the picture. Thanks!

Those look pretty badass! I honestly don't see those lights lasting very long tho, I know they wouldn't on my truck. I find it odd that you bought the armor, and then bolted more breakable/smashable stuff to it in vulnerable places...jsut my $.02

Oh, I'm aware how useful they are, I'm just saying, they're in a very vulnerable spot.

Ok, you are a total trend setter now! I love how those lights look mounted in the MC bumper.

Looks great!

Well, I needed them somewhere. This was the most logical spot to me with the least modification needed. Plus I can get replacments for free.

not sure if this is the same reason why the other guys are asking about the lights, but:

Have you thought about what would happen if something bashed into those lights hard enough?

I would just be worried that they would just put nice "light shaped" dents in your bed corners, and that would kind of defeat the purpose of have armor, just my two cents,

other than that, I'm jealous, I wish I had the money for that stuff, looks good dude

Then said idiots insurance would pay for the damage
You can kinda make out the dents I have from the stock bumper being pushed into the bed. So its a moot point anyways

Here are your pictures






so apperantly I didnt get some of the inner tubes very well. They have some nice surface rust on them!!

So I pulled off the bumper and re-painted it in my garage. Have a heating lamp in there to warm it up a little. This thing is pretty heavy, surprized me when I pulled that last bolt out!
