Looking for a smooth finish (no diamond plate) with receiver hitch in lieu of a winch plate with some sort of grill guard, not too gaudy, but covering the essentials. Under $2k, otherwise I will undertake the build.
I've been looking for a front bumper and haven't found one that I like either. Why do the aftermarket company's bumpers make the truck look like they have a fat lip?

Because the new popular look is the huge beefy steel bumpers that makes the truck look it can run through a wall.

took M66 home today, all secondary 55mph and averaged 20.0 mpg on the lie-o-meter before we hit the freeway for the last leg of the trip. finished with 18.2, I was pretty happy about that. that's without tire size correction running chads tires too.
