FINALLY a new bumper

after several months on the waiting list i dropped off my rig to Jed at Armorology and about a week later i got this.




i really like how it is tucked in.

origonally i wanted a tire carrier but i was talked out of it. he said the second gen. frame wasnt strong enough to support the leverage effect the swingout would create. So he took some stuff out and made room for a 33" tire in the stock location. overall i am very happy with the outcome and would reccomend his work.

some mounting pics.


what do ya think?

I'm very jealous. Your runner looks sweet. I really like how much higher the rear end looks without the stock bumper and trailer hitch. Probably a lot better departure angle.
I too am interested in the price

These bumpers look awesome, after checking out their site though is it pretty much not happening unless you live in or are willing to drive to Colorado?

looks nice, but your going to wish you had more room between that rear hatch and the bumper.

when the bumper comes up, it smashes this corner.

I've been waiting for few months for a reason to rebuild the rear bumper on both of my runners, and I think I'd do it somewhat like this. Excellent work. Very nice to be able to see how it really looks like.
Thanks!
