I got 4'' drill stem for my bumper, then I put a 8'' drop out of 1/2'' diamond plate.
Sorry I got no pics and no camera, but I do have a video of the truck doin a burnout and you can see the bumper if ya look close.

Why only two weeks to get it back up and on the road? From your build progress thread you still have a long ways to go!

No pics, but I once built an air tank bumper for my bro. in law. used 4x6 3/16" wall box tubing and welded in bung for fittings. Treadplate on top, a couple tow hooks on the bottom, and even welded on some nuts for licence plate. Powder coated, and bolted on. Holds enough air to air up all four tires to low-pressure on his Yota.

Don't worry about the two weeks. It will be atleast running. The big thing is gonna be getting the front end with all the body panels lined up. If you could post that video that would be great. Anyone else got pictures or anything?
