my first "accessory"

Hey, guys. Here is some pictures of my first "accessory." After looking at gdavis2265's new bumper, I figured I had better get posting some of the new stuff I have done. It only cost me about $30- $35 too! The only thing I bought was the channel iron and bolts. All the other stuff was free! Anyway, I had fun making it (about 8 hours) because I am a perfectionist and enjoy fabbing stuff. By the way, it took that long because I cut everything with a hand(armstrong) powered hacksaw. Makes my $30 last longer Ted

Thumbs up Nice Job.

Just wanted to say nice job. I especially like the pintal hitch. You don't see many of them being used anymor. Have you thought about powder coating the bumper. If you used a color to match the truck it would reallly be one of a kind.

As far as color, I was thinking of POR15. My only reason is to use it up. I really hate to see $38 a quart go to waste. You have a point, though. Matching color might look good. Ted
