The title of the thread is a little misleading

I about broke my hand working on the bumper today. I lifted one end of the bumper and it decided to twist around and my glove caught on the metal and wrapped my had around. I can hardly use it hours later. I need the lights to come in to complete the brackets for the lights. I will be adding more support for the winch mount. I will add a light bar on top too so it will be ready to blind all the stupid small cars blinding me LOL also good for killing rabbits at night.
I will start the rear bumper next Friday. Now to paint it or bed liner?

Well I completed building the rear today. It took about 7 hours of work start to finish. I also decided to remove the side tube running boards ans mount something newer from a 2010 or ?? i dont remember, I picked them up for 100.00 I still need to add the License plate lights. I found mounting bolts with LED lights in the bolts. Kind of cool. Will be a week b4 I see them.
