Congrats on the new bumper! If I may offer an oppinion on the powder coating though....I would prime and rattle can it if you plan on wheeling. Not only is it far less $$ up front but it is quick and easy to touch up and keep looking good. If you damage the powder coat then you are stuck with it or removing it and paying $$ to have it re-coated.

yup! I want it the same color as it already is, but color match the top.
The bumpers will be powder coated black... Im not too concerned about them being damaged, I've seen this guys equipment get bashed pretty good and still hold up, and I'm pretty nice to my truck.

yeehaw, kc lights are in phoenix right now... should be in tommorrow then i believe. California is a good place to ship stuff :p all these 9 day predictions turn into 2 or 3 days.



the plan is to put both of these in the center of my bumper, hopefully it doesnt block too much air for my radiator..

Don't you have a cooler IN FRONT of your radiator? Or, ....no A/C?

PS> Are you running bigger wiring like I did?(of course..... I was dealing with 8 inches), hahaha. Ooops. Anyway, you get my point.

PSS> CAN'T WAIT to see them on.....that will really accent the 'GRRR' look up front, eh?
