New T.G. Bumper Installed

OK so I pulled the trigger and bought a new front bumper from Trail Gear(model 4 as they call it for 90-95) sold my Smittybuilt for $300 so the cost was $70 with shipping so it was a no brainer anyway here it is

As it arrived via ups and yes they lost it shipped it back to T.G. reshipped it and delivered it a day late so it was typical ups


Add a little primer(kind looks cool huh)


Then a little Black let it dry ( will powder coat soon as I can just don't want it to rust while waiting )


And attach


Poser pics for some to enjoy and all criticize

Thanks and I will soon as I get it done and I will update this when I get the new tabs welded on for the 4 6" lights I plan to install on it as well and maybe even the extra mounts I plan to add for extra mounting points to the body mounts those should be done Tuesday if all go's well got the body mounts being cut tomorrow then the welding will be done Tuesday just want a little extra soif I need to winch myself or someone else out sometime I have a little more holding strength 10 instead of 8 mounting points that way can't hurt right.

The pic looks like poop ( M.S. Paint ) but this is the idea I am going to run with for placing the 6" lights on here.

Yes I did I don't know that you can get them any more and yes it was as good as new no chips or scratches in the paint or dents in the tubes, and the guy made the offer so I took it not like I did anything wrong here right? If you got the offer would you tell him a cheaper price or take whats offered?

Left over paint it's Wal Mart brand gloss black with no clear or anything just a hold over till I can get all the extra mounts I want to add done then I will get it powder coated just don't want it to rust while I wait for it to be complete.
