Well, he bodylifted his truck 2" and saw a picture of an awesome tube bumper on some website, so he bought some steel and had me design and build one for him. its still not done, i've got to build a couple more gussets and brackets for it, but its about 80% done.

i cant decide what to do for end caps or whatever on the ends of the bumper by the fenders... any ideas?

A stinger coming up from the ends and going across the entire bumper would look awesome, it'll need a couple of braces coming up from the bumper but wouldn't be too hard, or another thought is just make a corner stinger to protect the lights. But looking great!

Looking good! It looks as if you may want to extend the 3 tubes backwards to cover up the plastic wheelwell stuff and provide some protection for under the fender. Or if there's not enough room to extend the tubes perhaps some flatbar?

A for originality.
That bumper caught my eye in one of your other pics.
Looks sharp

thanks man :) it was a major pain in the ass building it (the angles of all the pipes WITHOUT a tubing bender :mad:) but i think it turned out quite well so far
