Thanks all, for the welcome. Next mod when I get back home is going to be find a rattle/creak that happened after I mounted the bumper and skid plates. Also I think I need to reinforce the cargo rack better. Along with getting a rangler net to keep everthing in the back in case of rollover or somthing stupid.

I love my raingler net, so does my wife. It provides a lot of peace of mind.

Can you show more pics/angles of Boondox's bumper? Is there is skid plate in the front attached to the rad skid? I really like the way it looks. Jealous of all you guys getting those bumpers, haha!

Every once and a while I read about a vehicle roll over and my first thought is I would be dead.

I can when I get back home. It will be two weeks or so. There is no skid plate that cover the bottom of the rad. Boondox says a shrock or hefty will fit. I forgot to order that skid in my GB. But I'm thinking of getting a local shop to bend up a slightly different design for me.

Very nice! Boondox's bumper?

Where's the recovery attachments?
Yes its a Boondox's bumper. Revovery attachments? If you mean winch I still have to mount it. You can install a winch after its on the X with this bumper!! If you mean shackles. I still have to pick up some more smaller shackles or borrow them.

Awesome truck. I'm prob the thousandth person to say this but DAT BUMPERRRR!

Your probably the 20th person to say it. But around the Thousandth to think it, everyone stairs at it and smiles.

Oooo thanks for the pics. I like how he has it set up to put the winch inside under the grille. That look always looks so clean and slick IMO. Great progress!

^^ well that mod got installed and temporarily wired up. I need to re look at my whole wiring (also still waiting on wireless remote). Its starting to remind me of a copper scrap yard. The winch works and got it rewound in the wee hours before I left for work. So no pictures.

Dude, that on board air setup is awesome! I wish I could have something like that but I'd be to afraid I'd trash it going through sloppy crap.
