well its art to me it my bumper for my F-150 tomorrow i have pics wiht it on the truck it not fully done but i have to have a bumper on my truck by monday when i have to drive it because itd be illegal wiht out one, but it will have light cut outs in the bends and will have a deisgin cut out of the front flat piece for air flow, alos ill prolly add the bar that wraps around and protects the grill and hood and lights.

haha my shop teacher almost shat himself after seeing it because thats 2 3/8 od pipe and 1/8th thick diamond tread plate and it contours perfectly around the truck and this heavy stuff is by no means easy to work with so far i have about 30 hours in it.

:macho im very proud of it and well well worth the effort and time and money

it wont look near as big and flat after i get the lights in there and the design in the front, btw the way did i mention thats a 2wd truck? come on serious who mistook it for a 4x4 at first glance? because your supposed to it does have a lift and those are 31s:rolleyes: best part is i have the 4x4 looks and the 2wd gas mileage 20-23 baby:devil:

u did an awesome job making it, for some reason it doesnt look right on your truck, maybe add a couple off road lights or something, now go bash into some shopping carts and tell us how it works!:macho

I think you did a good job.It would match your truck better if you had black rims.

were gonna get it powdercoated after its all done and ready the black is just for now, is could always some cool color like say chrome with a bright translucent silver , oh and the rings are removable on those wheels so i can have them coated to match:D i jsut got the wheels and tires and the lift at the begining of the summer so theyre brand new

bumper looks good, just needs a different color and a matching bumper on the rear would look good

Just an Idea. This is the bumper we have on our Grass Ride at my fire dept. The one on our department looks just like your except it has a winch and bars on it

eagle alloys 187 (i think you might wanna check)

yea its heavy but not that heavy, besides my lift kit was for f 150 with the v8 mine has the 4.2 v6 so the bumper being heavy actually evens it out for the heavier front springs
