I hate the bumpers all around, id like to lose em and use pipe bumpers. As far as wheels go, black paint is the cheapest option. I'm more into function than looks

if you're more into function than looks......

Yeah but you could just as easily ask why not? 20 bucks or so and the better part of a Saturday is all it takes.

I'd go to a tire shop and see if they kept some wheels that were taken off of another truck and do it that way. Might be a little expensive, but at least you'll have best of both worlds.

Hey rookie how much to buy your front bumper? Or I'll give you mine. Its painted black with the chrome piece on top painted black as well but the paint is peeling off. Your bumper is just what I'm looking for no chrome so the paint will stick. You could take my bumper and sand it down and do what you want with it.

If only you were closer to me, I'd take that trade in a heartbeat if you'd throw in a swap for that black nosepiece. I want the look your front end has, I hate the chrome around my grill.
