    Haha nah, I'm going to get a roof mounted one eventually. Either a 40" light bar or a BoxRocket bed rack will be next....

    More protection with a plate bumper, plus I plan to go aluminum bumpers.

    Haha yeah... About $1,200 for just the front bumper. If this thing isn't my daily driver by then, I'll probably get steel.

    Yeah, I know... :(

    I've thought about just getting a tube bumper to hold me off, but that would be a dumb idea.

    Yeah I wouldn't get somethin to hold you off. Definitely a dumb idea. I personally love the way the tube bumper looks. Maybe a hair better then plate

    I just don't like the look of exposed body panels and radiator.

    With the TG bumper the radiator doesn't look too exposed. But better skids will help quite a bit

    True, I can't wait to get a bumper and get better approach angles.

    Did you ever do this?
    I did it with plasti-dip just to get a cheap idea of what it'd actually look like, with the ability to abort if I hated it
    I love it; and so have been wanting to Rustoleum bed liner it since

    I can see the body panels... Haha

    Your truck doesn't count though because your truck is just awesome!



    Honestly any truck that has a custom bumper looks good to me because it's automatically better than my stock front end...
