After acquiring all of the parts needed for a front end conversion, i am left searching for a bumper. They are expensive! Even for the used ones, folks want $500! With all the brackets and covers, dealer is a little above $650 i think; I haven't added it all up perfectly. Does anyone know of any aftermarket alternatives, of any style, that run less than this?

 

You can also look at 2011 and up some truck upfitters like the ones that do police and fire vehicles have new take offs they will part with cheap and they look really good on 05 noses

 

Thanks Will! Do you think they come up enough on the sides to meet the bottom of the headlight? Or is there still a small gap there?

 

Because, in this image for example, it looks like it leaves the headlights hanging sort of.


This one looks better though, minus the grille that is too short.

 

I like that red one.....(chambering Buckzooka (TM) round...)
