Well, due to an unfortunate (unmanned) trip down drive and into a tree - I now have a sweeet new bumper and '07 updated front-end. Here's a couple pics: and the 'Marinco Mod' ($15 from Bass Pro Shops!):

 

Looks tuff..

 

Looks good.... Trees beware!

 

and small import cars - 'specially the ones with big tailpipes! Seriously, I had a ranchhand-style before - 5" tube-based design - this thing is 5x as strong w/3x5 sq. tubing for all the main members. Best part, this thing is under $1200 shipped! Compare that to a Fab Fours, ARB, Warn, etc at 3x as much! The ranchhand saved the truck btw, it moved back enough to damage a fender, a headlite and the grill - but at least it was just cosmetic. If the stocker had been there - well, I guess I would've gotten an upgraded IC and quite a few other new parts as well!!

 

DAMNNNNNNNNNNNNNN this thing looks like it can go through the house and not have scrath on it... looks good Jason... and the grill/headlight combo makes the truck look sweet... lots of luck with it..

 

That bumper means serious business... Looks great.

 

Great combo Jason it really looks great on that tough truck! What is the Marinco mod?

 

Through the bumper plug in Justin, have a look at the picture. IOW, block heater plug.

Actually his is not through the bumper, or is it? I cannot tell, but you get the idea.

 

Thats kinda what I thought but I wasn't for sure thanks Mike. That is a pretty good ideal.

 

What brand bumper is that?
Nice job looks good

 

That looks sick!

 

tuff lookn bumper, truck looks good.

 

Thanks y'all. Bumper by Advanced Mfg out of southern MO. He's a one man shop building HIGH QUALITY bumpers and stuff - and not charging enough for them IMHO. I had him add the hitch receiver and d-rings. The coating is a textured powder-coat, also tough as nails. The Marinco is mounted in the lower part of bumper on drivers-side. LOVIN' one-handed block heater hook up!!

 

Lookin good, looking good!!

 

Nice setup!
