Sorry about polluting the forum with non-Dakota pictures, but I just built this one recently for my Blazer.

I had planned on building the rear bumper first but decided to build a tiregate instead.

Got a good start on the rear the other day. Still need to ad a few more pieces of tube though. I will also be adding some dimpled sheet metal since my wonderful wife got me a set of dimple dies for Christmas.

Just one more piece of sheet metal on the top and it's finished.
