    Simple, lightweight and effective. Bumper is done minus paint.

    I am going to attempt to add some tube that aligns with the bedside and wraps around under the taillight. It’s lower priority though.

    Tube is a no go but I can make some plate covers instead. I’ll do this sometime soon, before my upcoming trip. I want to do it while the bumper is still raw steel.

    Be careful driving that to cars and coffee in the future. Wrong cop gets behind you and you might get a new piece of paperwork...

    Honestly, the bumper is the least of my concerns. My truck is a walking citation for a few reasons. My lights work, paperwork is up to date and I don’t drive like a dickhead so I’ll take my chances.

    Ok fancy pants! Time to test your skills again... I am looking for replacement window and door lock controls (in black if possible) for all 4 doors if that exists. Wanting to swap out the now faded and discolored control boards that are in the truck.

    Trick is, I honestly don't even know if this exists...

    Also... I got excited too early. That turns up as a 2012-2015 switch panel... the 2005-2011 are all the nasty gray I am trying to be rid of. Unless you have found different...

    I remember trying to look for black ones for mine a while back and was unsuccessful so I just painted them and now it’s all rubbed off where my leg hits it.

    Fully welded and the final touches are done. Last thing I might add is provisions for reverse pods in the corners.
