It is only my opinion, but I think Summits service is OUTSTANDING... And their prices are VERY competitive...Sometimes cheaper than the manufacturers...

Mark, I built a front bumper for my Son's old truck after he punched an oak tree.. I used a piece of channel iron the same size as the bumper..wish I had pictures.. I put the turn signals in it and even put the end caps on it. It looked factory unless you looked at it real close.

The bumper I built for my truck has totaled 2 trucks (son driving) and has 4 KIA's (deer).....

I can say I've been impressed with em so far. Can't wait to get those new rims on.

I'm thinking this is what I'm going back to. Put the camper back on it.
Yes, I still have that same topper too, it's been inside my barn. lol. I rarely throw anything away.



Dunno, it just made the truck look different/cool, at least for me. Also, it was nice having a place to lock something up. We used it to camp in for a few years, when just the wife and I. And, although we're not as nimble as we were then..
We might still could take it out on a weekend camp trip just us two instead of the 31 foot camper.
I just like the profile of it with that topper on it.
man those white rims with black centers and lug nuts look good. Be glad to get those back on her this week even maybe.
