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

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?
