WHAT???! WHY!?!?!

ive been planning a bumper build for a long time, front and rears...just gotta get the materials...that requires money, which iam short on right now...but when they do get built they will be black...

i dont like the looks of the grille inserts as much as i like the stock grille...but the inserts were functional for keeping mud out of the radiator during the mud season...

I like the grille you have. You shouldn't switch it out. It gives your truck a unique look.

And don't even think of bringing up the solid axle. Any twelve year old girl could do that if they had six months.

You are not 18. That is even more awesome that you were able to convert that frontend at your age.

Just wait until you get a lot of experience (years) under your belt.

It sounds like you wanted to do it right, so it took a little longer. In the end it will last and it looks great.

Now we can't be sure of that.


But honestly I think the work done has been good. A little trial and error is all it takes to get a good bit of experience. Its the best way to learn if you ask me. Congratulations on the solid axle being under the truck.


Now flex like Ed and get some real tires and we'll talk about it being "complete".
