    I agree that the rear bumper needs a bit of resigning but man you guys are harsh!

    I feel like they were an attempt to bring the USA theme around to the whole truck. But they ended up looking like bell bottoms with those tiny ass tires.

    In all honesty the rear bumper doesn't look much out of line with other offerings in the aftermarket bumper market. If they slap some reverse lights in those 2 holes and cleaned up those slim trim pieces that meet up with the tail lights it would look much better to people. I've seen uglier prices of shit on people's trucks.

    The front doesn't look bad. Will these be available in different colors. Like black would be good. What thickness is the metal?

    The front bumper is a work of art. Minimalistic, effective and clean. Rock crawlers may need a bit more, but I'll be going this direction up front. Not sure what is the heck is going on with the rear. There has to be more to the story than what we're seeing here I would hope. Red mud flaps on Quicksand? To each their own.

    Front looks like they took some time in the design studio, the rear looks like the studio burned down and this is the result. Also, putting your plate in the window will get you pulled over in every state of the union, the plate must be illuminated at night. Maybe aftermarket vendors should post polls on the forum before finalizing a product, that rear thing would have been scrapped in short order.

    Looks like a painted 2x4 with some cut outs. A bunch of 7th and 8th grade boys could have designed and fabricated a more unique bumper;what a joke.

    So the stock front bumper needs to be cut for this bumper to fit?

    just to the outsides of the fog lights is part of the bumper but that stays in the picture...almost like the top outsides of the bumper and the fender flairs need to be cut. right?

    There is definitely some cutting of body parts to get the front to fit. That front is a good looking bumper. I'd just be intimidated by the cutting required. Love to see how much is needed.

    None needed.
    Oh, I know how to make that rear bumper look better, they predrilled holes for a 2x6! I would use pressure treated wood as a good contrast to the red mud flaps and Quicksand paint.

    Front bumper is awesome!!

    I just can't figure out how with such a great design on the front the rear is so ugly. Did different people design them?

    Safe to say keep the front and discontinue the rear.

    Seeing things like that would prevent me from buying anything
    from them.

    Not sure if anyone realizes this but that is the least amount of gap you can have. The tailgate is within a 1/2 inch of touching the bumper when its lowered.

    Just giving my 0.02 as ive seen it in person

    Yea. That's what I'd want on my new $35k truck.

    Hopefully that was the truck owners design they insisted on. Along with their own mudflaps.

    If you view the thumbnail with your eyes a little crossed, it sort of gives an '80's Toyota truck vibe. Maybe that's what the owner was going for.

    I can see where you're coming from on that.

    How about the bad taste for those red mud flaps?
