Looks pretty good to me. I have a very similar design in my head, but mine will have a receiver hitch.

I like it. It's a simple design. What are the holes for? Lights, exhaust?

Looks great, I am looking to do the same type of thing, and that would be a great idea. Always wanted to something for backup lights, the stockers suck, and its real hard to see sometimes.

These ideas have already been done. I'm not knocking you, just trying to save you a little hassle. Another thing to consider is making it into an air tank.

These are 2 different bumpers, just a similar colored truck(notice the license plates). I believe the top one may be a BruceTS design and the bottom one is Armorology.

Looks good, now build me one with 2" receiver, 2 anchor points for shackles and 2 lights.


Thanks, Phil

P.S. How much to ship it to 89502?

I think the bumper idea looks good and I like the placement for the back up lights. Build it up! Once I get my truck moving I plan on spending some time at the shop with a bunch of scrap and the mig to figure something out. Then again, Marlins rear bumper is a slammin steal at $249. I just wonder what the shipping would be
