:thumb:Thanks gang. Once I get it bedlined I think it will look alot better. Everything is within a 32nd which is really good for my relatively low skill level and just using a little lincoln 140c, cut off wheel, and sawzall. Is it perfect? No way. Would I trade it for a Road Armor? No way :D

Thanks Mitch. I added some 20* angles to the bottom today to give it a nice subtle finishing touch. A little more grinding and a coat of bedliner away! Then onto the rear :thumb:

A little late now, but I would reconsider mounting it so close to the lights and grille. A buddy of mine trimmed the black plastic off the bottom of his GMC grille and raised his bumper really close to the bottom of the grille, and when the frame flexed going across bumps and dips it actually broke the grille. I realize you have a billet grille, but I would still be concerned about the lights and whatnot.

Looks really good though.

I never had a problem with my gmc bumper mounted flush but I guess well see. On edit I can see how a plastic center mounted bumper may twist like your friends did but look at all the ranch hands and everything. They all have lips that go right under the headlights and Ive never heard of that problem. I think that with the way mines mounted itd be pretty tough for it to flex into my headlights doing what I do with my truck.

In between coats right now. Me being the poor boy I am I decided to coat my bumper myself. Line-X wanted $200 and I just couldnt spend that much on an $85 dollar bumper.
