Did you make a post on it? I saw a few pics in your album, but lets see some close ups or beginning ones ect.

I bet that helps weigh down the rear a little bit lol They both look pretty sweet!

Personally I wouldn't go too thick, I'd rather my bumper crumple before the frame does. I'm going to put a roll pan on my truck and make a little tube bumper for the back. I was planning on putting truck lights in the roll pan and filling the tail lights and then do a tube bumper for the front. I just never get the money or time for it!

Hey what are the measurements for that back bumper? I gotta make one pretty soon and I think that looks like a pretty solid design to go with.

Those bumpers look pretty solid. I don't think you're gonna have to worry too much about getting rear-ended or hitting a deer.
