Hah! Yeh they look similar at first glance but I've got more of a mini-DeMello truck.

"I shall call it, Mini-Mello".

Pismo for sure!

thats a cool bumper since it also adds protection to the rear quarter panels.
I contacted jason on some sliders, hopefully i should have mine in a few weeks.

Jason can custom fabricate for any style truck. If you can't bring it by for fitting and measurements, however, he'll need another truck.

Those bumpers are so tough. He was yanking these wrecked cars around like they were toys with a strap attached to the tube bumper. It was rather funny

Awesome Bud! I can attest to the HD round sliders. They kick ass and nothing is going to get through them.

Jason can probably tell you better. I didn't actually lift it myself except to help hold it in place while it was being bolted in.
