    Would it be a good idea to get a new Radiator core support if I was doing an 01-04 front end swap? Or would it be better just to make the wholes bigger for the headlights?

    Only get the DIY if your friend has welded bumpers in the past. Mine was welded at a large welding company and they had no idea what they were doing.

    My paints already in pretty rough shape, i dont care much. Just dont want it to rust more or get worse.

    This happened when i got rear ended by a motorcycle. The bed flexed into the cab denting it and chipping the paint

    ^^ Truth. Its the kind of project that you want to take your time with and make sure it all fits right on your truck. Its sort of like buying a coat off the rack vs having it tailored.

    Agree 100%. Had my front bumper made by relentless and it is absolutely amazing. No complains at all! Got my rear bumper as a DIY and there are many things i wish were different with it.




    Also, went today to go see how much the new tires rubbed and its really only on the front of the rear fender.

    I agree with what he said... VVV

    But if your financially stable and know you'll be able to pay it off within the time period then go for it. Builds credit too. My credit limit has gone up twice on it, and now I don't use it because it's too high of a number for me to trust myself to use haha

    Do you happen to have any pictures of how its mounted? I'm trying to get mine to sit further back like his and I am having a hard time coming up with a bracket/mount, as the mounts that come with my bar seam to be really tall
