Default New bumper on. Chrome gone. (Pics)

Finally got around to putting on sport bumper that i purchased used beaten up from barb wire. Sanded it down, Then got it bed linered. Also I have an old RBP grille I bought a few years back that rusted on its 1st winter up north.

Primed and painted my self, bed liner on the grille mount, and "fleet paint" for the mesh.

Also have my CAI fully mounted, took off fog lamps to put ram air tube into fog light hole. Looks super clean with bumper on.

The Old bumper with new grille. About 4 years ago

Sweet! When we did mine found out that bugs don't stick to it when you wash the truck.

Got a pic from further back? Not as close-up? Looks good, man. It was definitely too "busy" with the chrome, those headlights and the screws around the grille before. I like it.

wow great looking truck! props bro, cant say about linex itself but the bedliner on my bumpers and rockers likes dust , but my 30 minute daily commute is gravel roads and its a drought year so its not just the fact its textured thats making it a dust magnet, the whole truck looks like its been in a barn for years. i used monstaliner
