Building bumpers again. A heads up.
#22
so a few more q's..can the sides be made to accomodate the flares so they are flush or a bit further out to protect from some bumps. also could you post a straight on shot so i (with the help of skills from yt members that is) could photoshop the sucker. that bumper is tits, id be lookin at summer time to get it.

I can put anything anywhere. The only reason the bottom skirt is where it is ,is to give the bumper some dimension. It breaks up a big block into smaller blocks so it doesnt look like a giant mass on the front of the truck. Unfortunately i dont have a front on shot that isnt all blurry. but i will take a pic of it tomorrow off the truck and you can paste it .
Btw. I dont know if i mentioned this but i put one of these bumpers (steel one)on a 4 runner years ago and it looked excellent.

That is a great looking bumper! I'd love to have something exactly like that in steel on my 2nd Gen! Wish I had the funds to have you build one. FWIW, $1500 CDN is only about $38.50, but I need to get gas tomorrow.

Ahhh. Yea. Actually i made the aluminum bumper a bit wider to cover the plastic flares. Even if you wanted it wider yet or narrower. No big deal. Can make it any size you like.

Where in BC are you? Im might be planning a road trip out there in a few months, and well might as well get the bumper thrown on while im there if you are nearby. Ill pretty much be in vancouver.

haha, canadians use dollars too bud. look up the conversion rate on the net if you wanna be precise, but $1500 CDN is about $1250 USD

Hey 2themax. I think you have things a little backwards. The Canadian dollar is worth less that the American dollar. So it would actually be closer to $1165 as of 3.8.09. Apparently the converters are not as simple as you thought.

Maybe its my eyes, but thats pretty much what he said, with the exception of a 1.23 difference
