Reply:Looks good.
Reply:I like that very much.My welding truck is a '97 Ram 3500 drw 4x4 w/ a 360 magnum (gutless wonder) and that's very similar to what I want to do for it one day.Have you had a chance to drive it enough to notice if the lack of cooling inlets in the bumper affect the running temp of the truck?Brian LeonardAppalachian Ironworks L.L.C.434 Long Branch Rd, Marshall, NC 28753828 649 9966828 702 [email protected]

Reply:Originally Posted by Fabn4FunI dunno - isn't your OEM back bumper black?  I kinda like 'em same color as the truck. Do you live in a pretty quiet neighborhood?  Some novel I just read talked about going to a funeral in Colma.  Kinda like surrounded by cemeteries???Bruce Willis: "... I see dead people..."
Reply:Here it is with just a quick primer job. Attached Imageshow many hours do you have into the bumper?
Reply:Not sure it was an after hours build and didn't work on it straight through.
Reply:Fisher is there any way to get a few Picts from the back of the bumper?    I am designing one for my 2013, and haven't quite decided on how to brace the 2" receiver.   I am questioning myself on bracing.   Don't want to over build, but in the same breath, I don't want to over build either.    ThanksMiller BobcatHarris cutting outfitMiller spectrum 625 plasmaVariety of shopmade tools
Reply:its a dodge but the bumper makes it look good good job
Reply:I do like your front bumper. I've made a few in the last 40 years.  But I never even thought to fab it up so that it had interesting angles.  mine were nearly always just flat on top Maybe a 1 inch radius on all corners, cutout for the wench Etc. Mac
Reply:Your trucks long lost brother.
Reply:Looks good, it would look even better if you would cut that "stinger" off
