Were using a mig/flux welder. Running full beads on outside and grinding them smooth and running beads on inside every couple inches, with some angle iron on inside for support. Its going to be sprayed with bedliner when we are done.

Needs some little touches, and than a good coat of bedliner and it will be good!

Thank you everyone!
There is one company who makes a bumper for our truck, but they really suck, from what I have been told. Bad customer service and really bad quality. But, if your interested click here to go to there website. I did save money doing it on my own and now that I have some experience I'm looking at making a rear bumper next... hopefully it wont take me over a year like this one did.
I'm trying to finish this bumper as quick as possible, my son is going to be born in 3 weeks!!! I am so excited!!
