those dewalts are awesome! so expensive though...

 

My employer sorta paid for mine....

 

Sold!!

 

winner!

 

@11TRDTX What bumper do you have?

I think I like it

 

I heard you were the group parts bin?

 

So, I only have the standard warranty...100k miles/10 years, only things that fluid 'touches' in a nutshell.

I'm thinking I'm just gonna say fuck it, hold my beer, and hammer down!

 

It's the only one of its kind

I designed it on paper and a friend of a friend welded it up for me. He didn't have a pipe bender so all the pipes are welded. It gives a rugged look to the truck and it's my signature piece of the truck that everyone who knows me/my truck knows and can pick out on the road.

 

It's inspirational lol!

More and more, I lean toward making my own too. I work in IT at a conveyor belt accessory manufacturer, there is plenty of steel to be bought here and welder, cutters. grinders, torches, and we just got a new Lincoln Torchmate 4800 plasma table

 

It's my signature piece like i said, but i didn't know better when I designed it and had it made. At this point knowing what I know. I wish I would have designed and had it made like a hybrid front bumper. My wife and I have had heated conversations about (me mentioning) changing to a plate or a hybrid. She doesn't like how those look. I think she understands the functionality of them, but i think her dislike for the look makes her be the way she is about it (plus the 300 we spent 4.5 years ago to have it made).

 

Oh, I could get one made for little over material cost.
Only been since highschool shop class that I've welded. Like riding a bike lol

 

<- Stocker, reporting for duty!

I am depending on you guys to tell me 'No Josh, your truck REALLY cant do that' because otherwise I'm going to just follow the row of trucks and get owned by something stupid

 

But that's how you learn.

 

If I only 'learn' a few times, thats more than fine by me. I just dont want to turn into a liability needing to get yanked out of shit every 5 minutes.

 

I'm stock too, do this ^^^

 

True, but he might want to give us a ballpark of how much education he can afford that weekend.

 

If we're just on fire roads you'll be fine. Now turkey bay is a different story
