ok... here's another thought...

Does this last design come with the lights and tire upgrade included? Fun Photochop work

I think that looks kinda cool myself and I think it wouldn't be too hard to get the bends right, but I also like the original.

I think this is the cleanest looking design and like this the best but it appears that is not the general consensus.

i like that design the best too.

We actually talked about trying this setup, but never actually did it. I'm game for making this an option if it looks like this on the truck with real tube....I think it should.

Since I don't have a 2005+ I probably should keep my mouth shut, but...

I think the bars look absolutely rediculous going up and out like the grille. I think it's just too much of the "V" or something? Looks much better with them going the opposite direction.

Ya know, I thought I would like the bars like that more, but I don't after seeing it. I'll stick with the original.

Original design looks great, Jim.

I like!

I really think you should try it... bend the top tube to wrap around the hood slightly and follow the lines of the bumper... will look really nice.

I have posted your comment on SOXC and suggest that you check out the thread there as well...

I might have missed it but what is the estimated price of this going to be? Will there need to be any modifications due to the extra weight on the front end? Thanks

It's in there some place, but $750 is the estimated price. That includes black powdercoat and top tube.

It's $749.00 w/ tube, powder coat, and fog light mounts.

This may go up. I'm trying to avoid it, but it's a possibility.

Wow!! That is slick...as always Jim...great work!!

Hmmm...looks SWEEEET!

Now, about those crappy OEM tires.....

Wow that is nice.

Awesome looking. Now with a bumper and sliders that are hot looking, it does draw attention to the crappy and small OEM tires, and the need for a SL.

Of course, to really feel better while offroading, a complete set of skids equal to the qualtity of the skid built into this new bumper are required. To me, skids are more important than a SL or even tires (although tires are right up there).

Just beautiful, and very strong looking. Thanks Jim!

Doing a great job Jim

Sexy!

uuuggggh, i have to go change my pants now.

nice work! prices? paint/coat options?

Did you read the whole post?

Quoted from Jim on page 6 "It's $749.00 w/ tube, powder coat, and fog light mounts.

+ $10.00 for gray. Minus $90.00 for bare steel.
