    Hey everybody,
    so just wondering your guy's opinion on if you think this would look good. I already understand the functional part, poll's strictly about looks.


    Anyways thinking about this bumper: But paint it all black

    I'm going to say nay since this is strictly for looks, running AT tires, and stock flares. My .02, but you have a pretty badass rig right now.

    Depends on the price for me. But i think it would look good if you powder coated the whole thing black

    No mud flaps, plasti dipped emblems, and rear bumper, Weather tech digital fit, Bed mat from tractor supply. Pioneer 4400BH head unit. B.A.M.F bed rail tie downs. AVS vent visors.
    eh. maybe if you had glass fenders and LT. and even than i would do full filler plates. other than that i like plate bumpers better, and i think they offer a little more protection because they are not so open. so rocks/stick and stuff can’t go and hit anything like radiator or something. i know they weigh a lot more, but to some it dose not matter as much.

    also i think it depends on what you will be doing. mobbing the dez? or off in the woods? dez tube bumper with filler plats works goods and looks good with LT and glass fenders. no glass but 3 or 6” lift and going in the woods/mountains plate bumper with a winch, grill and light hoops.

    I understand the functionality of those bumpers, and generally I am for function over fancy, but I just don't like those bumpers. I won't put one on my truck, and since you ask for opinion on looks, I voted no.

    I always liked plate bumpers way better than tube bumpers.
