Wasn't meaning to dog your plans, buddy
hahaha.... just personal taste. I had one on an 89 that looked pretty good on a black grill, blacked out/w/lights on it. That thing will LAUNCH a White Tail! hahaa.... reminds me of a Bore with those tusks! "C'MERE, LIL JEEP!" hehehe.

Oh yeah, mine was a Tuff Built or Rhino or something.... VERY thick... And the tubes were welded? I think my buddy got it at Con-Ferr or something, WAY back in the 90's. DAYUM that REALLY sux saying "90's" and feeling like it was yesterday.... then realizing it was 20+ years on the bottom end!
hahahaha.
I'm sure you'll make it look nice, Bill

Yeah, haha.. could be. It looks like maybe an auto show or something? Anyway, I just noticed, having power mirrors myself, .....his are Chrome? Didn't know that option existed. Maybe they figured it would look better than the darker gunmetal gray that they are on every other one I've seen?
West or East.... it's nice!

Hope the camping trip went well. We have a lot of deer here on the road and the damage is high. Anything on front has got to be a big help. I like deer in the freezer but not by getting them with the front end of a truck.
That is a great looking runner above.

subscribing! some nice runner yep rust in nearly the same places too darn rust!
heres where i was thinking of getting steel for mine http://www.alfaparts.net
theres also very well made fiberglass as well
i didnt see it mentioned but dont use bondo alone on steel, it absorbs water an holds it on the metal, use a fiberglass an resin type called duraglass its waterproof used for making patches or plugging holes in steel or fiberglass. then go over it with bondo to finish an smooth
how much did the 2 in body lift run you if its not out of line to ask
wish i was near by id adopt the radiator for my old 79 who is more rust than anyones toy on the forum (held together with paint duraglass an bondo some road tar as well)

Hey Bill........ CONGRATZ! I too love the Brown Santa Claus! hahaha...
BTW, curious... that's a "Helper" ? Or "AAL" ? My buddy told me to buy a full size half ton chevy single leaf at the pick-your-part, cut it and slap it in my pack and WATCH THE RIDE TURN TO ''YEAAAAAAAAAA!' hahaha.... OK< he didn't say "YEAAAAAAA".... but he did say he'd done it and loved it........ So I'm curious what exactly this is and what you're hoping for, if anything, besides a lil more UP'sie! hehe.
