    Seeing the third gen section forced me to get a Ford...
    Is that a two piece design?

    It's plenty low enough right now. The edge is trimmed so that when the frame flexes the bumper cannot hit anywhere on the body.

    Na... I do just fine with the 33's. Not to mention larger tires would demand a regear which I'm just not getting into.


    The only reason to go bigger on tires would be to make it more capable offroad, right now I can already get it into some pretty hairy places and anything more is going to start tearing the truck all to pieces which I'm not willing to do. This is to valuable of a vehicle to go out and trash it up.

    sweet....just checking. that line between the winch feed and the license plate looks like they would be bolted together.

    looks good though, man. cant wait to see the additional variations. may have to make me a purchase if i save any money while i'm in the desert.

    Looks nice...bottom section is just a bit wide for my taste.

    No doubt it's fuckin' stout though...that goes without saying :)


    And I agree on the tires...already managing to break shit with 33s....35s would just make it worse.


    Still regearing though :eek:

    You can't make the bottom any narrower... It's just barely wider than the crossmember on the front.

    Could be. It's tucked in as tight as you can get it though.

    Those pics were taken from pretty close. Trucks still down so I can go anywhere to get better shots just yet.
