You haven't seen pics but you've seen the sliders. They were on the truck when you were here last year.

I have more pics if anyone particularly wants to see them.

I've made two rear bumpers and here is a link to each one's build. Both are pretty much step by step. Let me know if you need more.

Thanks for the links man. I tried to view your bumper build many of times, but like I have read on other posts, sometimes you can see stuff on here, sometimes you cant...so I copied each and every damn pic! Looking forward to working on my build,this helps a lot.Thanks again.

What browser are you using? I thought I was the only one having that issue since I use chrome

 

[garzanium]

yup,using Chrome.

Greg- thanks- hope to get started on some armor this weekend.Replicating your project failed as I have a Drop bracket kit-so those front bolts are already holding up the DB. Got some steel for this project then realized it was a no go!

 

[Silverback]

^^ Longer bolts, have it hold both the DB and the skid.

 

[Whitecloud]

Build looks good Greg.

 

[BirdTRD]

Thanks. One of the skid plates is pictured above. It follows the factory shape but is obviously made out of much heavier plate. I'll text you some pics of the front skid.

 

[BirdTRD]

Updated the first post with some front bumper pictures and front suspension info.

 

[drew02a]

That is one nice bumper. I still really like the rear one too. It tucks in against the tailgate really tight.
