My slow high clearance rear bumper build

Haha I'm hoping it turns out good

Hahaha creep away

Yea I have them going through the main tube and side by side butted up to the frame plate so I'll be welding it front and back top and bottom sides and everywhere else I can to make sure it's super strong! Thanks

 

lookin good

 

Thanks man. I appreciate it!

 

Hell ya man! I just finished up my front plate bumper. Waiting for the scrap pile at work to get a little bigger than I'll start my rear! Looks good buddy!

 

Thanks dude! I really appreciate it!! Your front bumper looks dope dude. Have you updated your build thread for it? Did you cut any holes for air flow or anything?

 

Hell ya man! I just finished up my front plate bumper. Waiting for the scrap pile at work to get a little bigger than I'll start my rear! Looks good buddy!

 

Thanks bro! And I haven't yet, I'm debating on color matching it and I figure if I do that I can cut some holes and I need to still put some recovery mounts on. I bought some LED cubes but ended up building some mounts to use them as work/bed lights just threw them on and got them wired up today!

 

Sweet man! I'm already subbed to your build so I'm stoked to see it get finished up

 

I could never do this myself! LOL

Curious to see how this turns out in the end. Are you planning to powder coat when done?

 

Haha I'm just wingin it!! I'm hoping it turns out good in the end too lol. I have a friend who has a hook up on powder coating so there's a good chance that I will but still not sure yet.

Looking good! Props for chopping your own fenders, that must have been tough!
Probably going the DIY way myself eventually, slowly building my pile of materials

 

Ryan dood you've done it again I say quit your job once this is done and do this full time I'll bring you my truck with a bunch of money when I get it and say fix it but I wanna help! I'll grind and cut and what not just need a welder because my skills are rusty and I don't trust them

 

Haha thanks man! I taped the lines where I was gonna cut and sat there for 15 mins looking at them going "am I really gonna cut my truck up? No going back after this" hahaha it was really stressful but once I touched the grinder to the truck I was like "alright going for it!!!" Cool man DIY is a lot of fun! You'll have a good time with it.

Hahaha thanks John!! That means a lot. I'm hoping it turns out good man! Well we'll have to get you over here one of these days to mess around and get some practice in!

 

Haha you just like 2 hours away I'm gunna go get me a 100 dollar stick welder and just start randomly burning shit together till I can remember how to do it it's been like 6 years since I've messed with one I used to be good though

 

Yeah dude. Once you start getting back into it you'll pick it back up really quick!

 

Yea I hope so maybe someday I'll be able to do the shit you do man that's what I initially want to get into

 

Haha you're too kind man. It's a fun hobby for me. There are a lot of dudes way better than me. It's just fun to build stuff. I have a lot of fun building stuff out of wood and metal.

 

Haha well you're an inspiration, I color matched my own grill and about halfway through had the "why am I doing this to my $30k truck, have I lost it" thought... But it's done and looks better than ever... Might need a little more liquid courage when the bed chop comes around!

 

Thanks man! Hahahaha I said the same thing. I was like dang what if this doesn't turn out looking good. But I just decided to go for it hahaha. Glad your grille turned out how you liked it! Haha as long as you have a steady hand and take your time everything goes fairly smooth.

 

Looking good, can't wait to see the finished product, would like to go this route eventually myself.
