sooooo you washed it?
I noticed he has new wheels and tires, added rain guards and possibly a bed cover. Maybe he has a bunch of work on the inside done. I think it looks good.

By the way what happened to the bumper on your truck?

Way to go SAY789, brinker88 and nine-teen91stxranger for making those Junkyard bound POS' into badass rigs! Trucks are looking good guys :icon_thumby:

looks like the same rims, i'll take another look though...

the bumper is in my garage half of the time, 2 reasons, it gives me a better approach angle, and with the bumper and valance on, i can't have the tow hooks on the front... so when i go wheeling, i have to take off the valance, but to do that, i have to take the bumper off (4 bolts) then remove the valance from the bumper, which is about 10 or so bolts, and 8 clips, then re install the bumper... so i started just removing the whole thing and leaving it off for when i want it off... i'll eventually make a plate bumper, but that's down the road

Sounds like a pain. I would leave it off too then when you put it like that. A custom bumper would look awesome on your truck.

yeah, and thanks... the biggest issue i'm having right now, is all the bumpers you find are either tube bumpers or plate bumpers, neither of which stay with the stock, but not quite stock look of my truck that i'm going for...

so i think my only option will be a custom made plate bumper, and then on all of the corners, take a grinder to them to round out the corners to make it a tubeish plate bumper...
