Travis, sorry to see your truck got a little wrecked, but man it looks good now. I really like that gold color, looks good, and I love that hood too. I also really like the 08 tailgate and bumper, I'm planning on doing that to mine too. That tint looks great too. I still can't decide if I like the debadged look or not, but it definitely look clean.
I don't think that bumper looks bad on there at all, but also might look cleaner with the stock bumper on. Got any plans of lifting it with bigger tires and different rims? That might make the big bumper look a little better on it.
If it was me I would have gone with a two-tone with black on the bottom, just because I love that combo of the black and the gold. And I would probably go with smoked cab lights, but that's just me. It still looks great though, just giving you some input.
Can't wait to see what you do with the engine, should be sweet.
Keep up the good work, can't wait too see it all done.
I'll keep watching...

Thanks guys.
To me, the front bumper with the cowl hood just seemed to clash. It was too busy I guess. All the pipe wrapping around the front and the hood, it was too much. I wouldn't be against possibly running an off road bumper one day if I destroy this bumper, but this looks awesome to me right now..

I was thinking maybe just a basic off-road bumper without all the bars, would look sweet someday.

Yeah I'm worried about hitting a deer with this stock stuff, but I'll take my chances. Lol. It just looks too much better like this to bother with having that huge bumper on it.

Truck looks great Travis! The lights and tint...everything! And, as much as I like the Ranch Hand bumpers....I have to agree that with the hood, the stock front end looks so much cleaner and nice. I like the looks of our OBS stock bumpers, but the Ranch Hand just seems to fit the look of my truck. Great job one the SD buddy.......now make that thing go fast! LOL!!
