i like it! LOL

but the i think you need to curve the tube more..where it wraps around the side of the truck..needs to be closer to a 90* bend LOL..but to each their own!

that's my only complaint lol

are you talking about bracing it from the sides of the frame to the wrap around the fender? If so...smart...looks pretty good, just tweek it in a little bit more
. I just got my welder, a helmet and a few buckets of scrap steel to start practicings

Looks like fun!! I keep seeing these bumpers people are making and it makes me wish I had the equipment and the know-how to play around with stuff like that!

Sweet bumper. I'm planning to build something like that this summer. I'm actually moving to St John next year to go to school. I live about an hour north of Fredericton right now.
