I like clean lines and not alot of clutter.
Of course I think mine looks the best. It's ALL 1/4" plate and is silly strong. No 1/8" or tiny .120 wall tubes.

It just dissapars into the truck. That is what I like. We'll see what these other are like in person.

I don't expect that ours will get any stamp of approval from you, but that's okay. I do like the Taco bumper that you built. It compliments an ARB type of bumper very well. I love tubing though - guess it might stem from my fascination with off-road racing.

All spots filled!
I'll be parking out on the access road west of the Circle K.
In past years we've used a private parking lot across the street, probably not real cool with the business owner...
Also, since we're only traveling a mile or so on pavement, I plan on airing down prior to leaving Mayer. The Goodwin Road is pretty hacked up like usual.
Updated Saturday Weather:
Mayer, AZ. --- 79°/54° light winds 5 to 10 MPH
Prescott, AZ. --- 69°/41°F light winds 5 to 10 MPH
Crown King, AZ. --- 70°/45° light winds 5 to 10 MPH
AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!

Well once again this year I wish I was coming along. I had a blast on this run a few years back when I happened to be in the area, but no such luck this year. I have some plans in the works to hopefully get back to better drivablity so I can come hang with the southern boys again. Have fun.

Hey Greg!
I know how that goes...
My rig was basicly a trailer queen until I sold the tow rig and trailer. Once things get modified past a certain point, it limits the overall use of the rig. I can still drive on state highways at 62 to 65, but extended trips at 75 on the interstate are pretty much outta the question.
