Are you gonna box in the ends of the tubing? Water and crap can get in there and cause rust real quick! Looks real good!!

I like the full grille and brush guard setup. It looks good. I think I'm going to buy one for mine when I get the money.:icon_thumby:

ok its been awhile since i put any pics up and thought i put up a quick update

due to gas prices on the rise and the fact my truck has to commute 40 miles a day for work i had to temp. alter its appearance.



i took the brushguard and rollbar off to reduce the drag and added a tool box so my cover would still fit. my gas mileage went up a good amount but dont worry i am keeping the gaurd and rollbar to be put back on when needed or gas prices drop back down


the flag doesnt seem to affect my mileage so its staying on for awhile :headbang:

Gonna have to say I personally dont like the brush guard extension things on the push bar, far too large for the front of your truck. But, that's just my opinion. You did do a good job in modding it to actually fit the body lines of your truck, but I would raise the lower bar up and drop the top bar down (section what looks to be about 4" from the center) and make it just a bit bigger than the lights.

Good job adapting free stuff either way! :)
