New Bumper.. :)
What better place to show off my new bumper. 
I wish the pics were better, not sure why they're so fuzzy.
Got a couple more lights planned for it. Can never have to many of those. 
whaddathink?
Theres a close up of the text in the gallery.

Those TJM bumpers look pretty nice ( http://www.tjmbullbars.com/ ).....are you going to run a winch in it??

Looks good. Put one just like it my truck about three weeks ago. Very heavy duty.
One thing about the install, if you haven't already, look inside the bumper at the bottom of the radiator. If your bumper didn't come with the heavy horns (where the tow hooks are or if you didn't install them, the inside of the bumper will be pushing against the external transmission cooler (least that's what I think it is). I initially left the horns off mine because I won't be installing a winch for awhile, and the bumper tucked into the truck a little more. But once I got finished, I had to take it back off and install the horns anyway.
Everything in front of you is now your crumple zone.

DC is right its a TJM bumper, set me back $750 and $75 shipping cuz I had it shipped to a biz address at my work. Got mine from here.
I was gonna put a winch in it...
ran out of maoney. 
Maybe next year.
I will have to check what your talking about lrhill, I thought the same thing. Not winching so don't need them. Thanks for the tip.
Thanks for the thumbs up guys.

Easier than you think. The bumper came with everything including a PS cooler reloction kit. The hardest part was cutting the weld nuts off the tow hooks so they could be reversed and put back on. Other than that, 4 bolts on the OEM to remove, 8 bolts to reinstall the new.

What condition is your original bumper in? Are you interested in getting rid of it?
My wife put a crease in my bumper on the right side going through the ATM a couple weeks ago. It's not a big deal I am just keeping my eye out for a good buy on a replacement for it.
