OK so I decided that 6-900 bucks for a bumper is a bit much and I really didn't like the limited selection that was out there.
Well a couple beers and a few hours of thinking it out and off to buy some metal 1/4 at that and here's what I have come up with.
Though it is not quite finished it is a whole lot closer to finished then it was on paper the other day.
I only get to work on this after I get off work at 11 pm m-f so its been slow and yet a long week.
If there's something that you think I should incorporate into that I have not added to it please speak up and let me know. Also like to get some opinion's on what you all think is it a bumper that you would consider buying for your trucks?
I will keep updating so that you all can see the finial product once I get it done. I will also be LINE Xing it instead of painting it for long life and good looks. This will be going on a 1990 4Runner so imagine it on a 2nd gen 4Runner.
