No, it's not the same one as Darren's, because that would be not good. I heard the reason for getting the bumper was because his truck looked like a few others around town and he had to do something to make it look different. Although around here it seems as soon as you think you've got your truck customized and unique looking, another truck that looks identical to yours rolls up and it's back to the drawing board again.

I've done quite a few light bar installs for people and they always bug me that I put these things in for everyone but I don't even have one myself. Yeah well I'm going to be solving that issue pretty soon...

Good morning Savage truckers,

Trent, That bumper looks really cool, I can't wait to see it on your truck. The dually looks cool also, but personal I like the fenders my truck came with better.

Have a good day everyone.

Thanks for the feedback.

Ya got the bumper put in today with the help of a few buddies.












I might play with the alignment a little bit more later to get it perfectly level and with the amount of spacing to the lights and body panels that I want, but it isn't bad at all - just 1/8" off between the left/right sides. You can't tell unless you break out the ruler to measure. I'll be putting in the lights in the coming days anyway.

That's what I was thinking Gerry, and they prolly aren't cheap.


Trent - The bumper looks awesome, good work on the install. I like your bud's shop, that is nice....I'm jealous. Winch or no winch? I hope your tires wear out soon!

Yup, I bet those are some rock chuckers.
I got the rear axle back on last night. I'm going to dry fit the drums with the old bearings so I can get the brakes adjusted today. Progress!!!!!
Have a great day.

I do so many LED light bar installs for people that it would make sense to do mine the same way I think. I don't stock any incandescent ones anymore only bring them in when someone insists.


That's at a friend's place. My shop isn't quite as large nor does it have a convenient crane lol.
