Tubing


Eh, I think I'm good. Thanks anyway.

Nothing agianst you, I'm sure your honest, but I don't care for buying things over the internet unless it's through a store...
Well, it's not so much me not liking it as my parents. Considering I have to go through them to do anything like that.
 
Got any pics of your new front bumper?

Hey dogboy do you have any pics of your new front bumper? I am collecting some steel for my new front bumper and i was wondering how you did yours.
 
Yeah, I got a few. I will upload them in the morning, or in a few minutes if I get done with this paper for history (only a couple more sentances!).
 
Ok, here's the pics!

I finally got it painted on Satirday...

If the fairlead looks slightly crooked, that's becuase it is. I didn't level it when I tightened it backu up.
It's a good thing I took these pics earlier today becuase I competely forgot to put my lisence plate back on after I painted on Saturday!




John, I don't know if you have a body lift or not, but my 3" BL is what allowed me to get the winch tucked back in under the grill. And the the 2" reciever is there not only has a recovery point, but also to add some some reinforcment to the winch plate to keep it from twisting.
Let me know if you have any questions!

I actually haven't even really finished it yet... I was going to add a support to the light bar, and cap the tube ends, but it was more important to get a coat of paint on it to prevent even more rusting (I went for two weeks without paint...). I painted it using Duplicolor's spray bedliner by the way. I used it in my bed, and after using the bed and having metal objects bouncing around, a real bed liner would have been good, but for other things line bumper or flares or anything, it works really well. I used it on my rear bumper as well, and it has worked well for that. If you decide to ever use that stuff, don't hold the can closer than a foot away from the surface (you shouldn't with any paint, really) and on your last coat or two, hold the can a ways away from the surface, this allows it to really make the texture. It will make the texture if you hold it close, but holding it back makes a HUGE differance.

I forgot to mention, ignore the unpainted parts too, haha. I could not get to them with the bumper on the truck (I did not bolt it on, it's all welded...).
