    Thanks for the order! Sounds good.
    Well let me know if you'd like to switch.
    Thanks! I agree, looks awesome. And apparently a lot of others agree because since I first posted pics of it I'd say 2/3 orders for the 96-04 front are optioning the bumper with it! :D

    hey, was wondering if you could add the summit tube option to the first gen diy kit. I would hate to have to call to order a bumper and take you away from buildiing

    I bet he is getting tired of all of us changing our orders... :eek: haha

    I called earlier this afternoon and had him change mine to a DIY kit and add the predator headlight hoops. Great guy to deal with! :thumbsup:

    Added option to the website... Order away! :D
    Ha, no big deal. People change orders all the time so I'm used to it especially since they're a pretty big purchase.... it's the people that want to keep changing the order specifics every few weeks during the waiting process that gets a little old. :cool:

    I've never TIG'ed one.... but I've thought about it a few times! Would look badass on the right colored truck, with clean tig welds and a clear coat over raw metal with the weld bluing showing. :D

    Gotta go on a Grey, Black, or silver truck I think. Maybe on a dark blue would look good too.

    I'll be wrapping it myself. Just buy a big ass roll of vinyl and spend some time on 'er. Doesnt look too hard, I'll just buy enough extra to have a little room to work with it if I happen to botch up a section.
