    Ok! Sorta late... But it's hard to put things down once you get going. I got locked outta the building this weekend, so I had to wait till Tuesday... But my key card is working now, of course... Anyway, put the finishing grinds on the bumper, mounted it and got it fitted perfectly, now I just finished priming the sucker. Needed to get it on before it began to rust!!

    And a bumper I designed for a friends 4runner. I'm going to build it as soon as practical with his help.

    Thanks fellas! Got it painted so I'll be mounting it (finally!!) after my next class! Pictures will be coming around 11:30-12:00.

    And who said anything about a shop?! :spy:

    Well here is the finished product! I'll go find some better light once I get the grill back on. Painted it with duplicolor truck bed liner. Pretty darn tough!

    Ok kinda serious, and need some opinions on this one.

    Where the f*** should I mount the license plate? I'm thinking to the side on one of the wings, or down low.

    Thoughts?

    Hahah! Wish this law didn't matter in MA...

    Hmmm, I like that! For now though I have it safety wired to the lower part until I work on something more permanent.
