New custom bumper.

What do you think?

Don't like it at all! Too see-through. Can't make out all the braces but looks like a deer could fold that thing into your radiator real quick. Sorry dude, JMHO.

I like it. But i would put some plating on the sides like you have in the middle but thats just me.

X2!... I would add some plating too it.

The idea is cool, but I'd have built it in front of the factory bumper, more like a pre-runner. You hit something with that it's just gonna crush. Got to be bigger and filled in more. JMO.

Tubes wayyyy too small. What is that 1" with 3/4 bracing?

Travel with the 37's was tearing the stock bumper. Even with cutting.

Had to go.

Well built but poor design. It doesnt really serve a purpose other than looks. It doesnt hold lights or let you crash into stuff. JMO

I like it!! Get you some fiberglass fenders and it will be bad ass

 

[05maxlly]

it will kill some milage if u are even concerned with that

 

[SSchmi5519]

8" lights are incoming...as are the Glassworks fenders.

Mileage is about the same. 16.5 city, 21 highway (70mph). If i go 85 its back to 16.

 

[RENODMAX]

as long as its functional for what YOU do with YOUR truck then thats all that matters right? its definately a very nicely crafted piece.

my brother took off his bumper and he lost about 2mpg

I agree, what you put on your truck....your business. Just remember all opinions here are positive, that's what the forum is for.

Any change in your temps?

X2??

Idea is good, It just needs a couple finishing touches IMHO... Something should be made to fill the void under your head light also like others have said some plating or mesh for the sides. No tow hooks? where did you put the air bag sensors?

still see stock tie rods ohh this is about a bumper?

LOL.


Temps seem to be lower as far as engine coolant temp and intake temps.

Though its hard to say that it was bumper related due to the fact that the temps here in AZ have just now dropped down to our "winter" weather.
