THINKING I MAY SELL BUMPER AND EXAUST?

dont know if this goes here or not. but not trying to sell it here just need help.
i have a chrome front bumper off my lariet 2002.
and a flo-pro 4'' exaust with 5'' chrome tip .
it is a muffler back set up with 4'' muffler.
i bought it and ran it about 2 months then built my own 5'' ss exaust.
i guess what i was wandering is what should i ask for it.
i would like to get enough to pay for ball joints
we have a local web site to sell parts . im thinking of putting them on .
so maybe $150 each
does that sound like to much or ok.

Clay, did something happen to your bumper?

I think $150 a piece is reasonable.

clay i would love to make it out there.
i just got home from a check up with spine doc and he said everything is healing up good. i got a copy of my xrays to use as a screen saver on phone, i have some cool stainless rods and screws in there, cant wait to show the guys at work.lol
maybe by rre time i can sit in the truck long enough to get there.
right now i can make about 50 miles before i have to stop ,get out and walk around for a second.
might take a while to get there from texas that way
but i can tell im getting better

Kountze, TX?? I used to live in Beaumont and ride to work in Evadale every day for 9 years.

I know this is off-topic, but it's rare to find someone so close to where I used to run around.

I need a bumper, but when I started looking, I saw those Top Gun bumpers on ebay. I want one! Which one did you get? How do you like it? Any pics???

still dont know how to size pics. sorry.
got it from a local shop. its a little heavy.
if i did it again i would get the one that just has the hoop pipe in front not the full guard around the lights.
i think it would be easier to stand on to work on truck.

that didnot come out to big . guess maybe i sized it ok.
pete i worked out of the pipefitters union for 15 years welding .
i worked a few shutdowns at the paper mill and it smell rotten.
im going to therapy about 10 miles from the mill (silsbee tx) and some days they have to light candels to cover the smell.
a running joke here( girl tells boy kiss me where it stinks, boy takes her to evadale)lol
kountze is about 20 miles north of beaumont.and 15 from evilsmell, lol

the bumper looks great, but your last post just flew way over my head

Can you install it by yourself or does it require an extra set of hands?

studawg i went over to the shop when it came in, the guy who owned the shop told me they use a forklift to install them.
it looks heavy, im really hard headed but dont think id try it alone.
maybe if you had an A frame with some kind of overhead lift.
the shop only wanted $100 to remove my old one and install the new bumper so i let him do it.
the last post sounded kind of crazy.sorry
but it was for pete (f250_) at one time he lived not to far from me.
