Smile Tumbaburros Installed

It's not the one I wanted- cuz I wanted a ranch hand full replacement bumper. BUT, for the price I got this one, it was a steal !!!! It's a Westin 40-0225 BRAND NEW that I got for less than $200, freight and all.

I was worried it was going to take away from the updated front end, but have a look and let me know what you all think.

do I like it? yes

does it take away from the front end? yes


I guess its whatever look your trying to go for, but you asked if it took away from the front end.

Congrats on the steal, too

I really liked the way the grille still shines through it. the one I really wanted would have covered it up completely.

it has the mounts for some lights. i am thinking no right now, but you know how that PMS sneaks up on you.

I think it looks sharp. It should rearrange a deer fairly well too.

if i do get lights, i would want to setup them up to come on with the high beams. that should get some people's attention when i flash them.

looked at some at oh-rye-lees for backup lights, but wasn't too impressed with what they had.

how many of you were wondering what a "tumbaburros" was??

I think the right set of lights would look good on there...some clear rectangular ones IMO

All in all - looks good!
