i know how u got the dent in your tailgate! ive got one to match! cept my little brother did it to my truck.. i was pretty pissed!

If i ever find that elusive GOOSENECK im gonna shoot it!

Nice bumper i wanna do one like that, mine is slightly tweaked after being rearended by a f150 at 10 mph.

EDIT: what exhaust do you have??

Lol the stock bumper doesnt hold up to snatching too well. Its a custom exhoust with flowmasters and stainless tips done my a buddy of mine

The bumper isn't held on by just those two piece of flat stock is it??

If it is, then I would highly recommend reinforcing it ESPECIALLY if that hitch is mounted only to the bumper as well. Personally, I think that is way too much weight for those 4 bolts to be carrying pulling wise (like on a tow strap), and as soon as you put a downward load on the hitch, that flat stock is going to bend like it is butter.

But, if that is a normal hitch/ is mounted like a normal hitch, then you are probably fine hitch-wise, but I would still recommend reinforcing the bumper more. It is better to over build, than to under build.


Now, enough with the criticism, I think it is an awesome looking bumper with the diamond plating. And the box fits in better being black.

you cant see it from the pic but its 1/4" 3x3 angle. The angle wraps around the frame on the outside and theres gonna be 2 more bolts out there on each side as soon as i make it to tractor supply

ok, haha, that sounds A LOT better!

That picture really is deceptive then.
