You know that is why this site is top dog. Members are off the chain with a get it done and get it done right tude. Nice work! Now all you have to do is get the rest of the truck in line with the idea of the "super duty" look and function. Dodge could had helped by building in a few inches of 4X4 height. BTY how much does that bumper weight. Any plans for the rear bumper.
Edit: opps I should read first then look at the pictures.

 

Beastly!

 

thanks for all of the compliments! i was actually nervous if anyone would like it or not.

 

Nice work! Definitely looks substantial, how thick is the plate steel you used?

 

gotta say thats awesome, looks perfect

 

Wow that is great craftsmanship! Very impressive! That would be great for dealing with all the angry little Civics with their farts cans and towel racks

 

1/4in. on the brackets and grille guard, and 3/16in. on the rest.

 

That's gotta be one of the sickest homemade bumpers I've ever seen. Nice work!

 

being finished and coated...it does look good

 

I see the red Ram in the photo has a similar bumper. Looks great. Looks very functional. I guess you could trade some strength for weight by going with aluminum plate. You should build one and put it on e-bay to find the market value.
