    I went with the Elite because of the beveled edge. I admit, I'm shallow. I go on looks. ;)

    Haha guess I'm shallow too! :)

    I bet a few people on here won't agree, saying a bumper is just a bumper. But since it's my truck I want to look how I want, and that just so happens to be an Elite... Haha

    Because I wanted it at the time, and it was on sale.

    But now that I've seen the Elite with the hoops I've decided I like it better, that's all.
    Haha :jellydance:

    Brent, your bumper looks great my friend! Like I said before part of the reason I went to hoops besides the protection of my future led bar is I liked the look on yours and my buddy's 2nd gen.

    With that said I myself did switch my trail gear bumper to an elite within less than a year. So I understand wanting a different bumper.

    Haha thanks! Yeah, I love the headlight hoops. They smoother edges of your Elite combined with the hoops just did it for me.

    Sounds like you understand my decision haha it's just money anyways, right?

    Do it now while you have expendable cash! You'll be like me and have a 16 month old daughter and a baby boy on the way. Gotta feeling my truck money going to be gone. But I finally got the truck the way I like it... For now!

    Haha yeah, hope that doesn't happen anytime soon! I will be losing quite a bit of my mod money sooner or later though since my gf is in college and we'll probably be getting together here soon... That's good and bad... Haha

    Nice haha

    Hope you're not planning on lifting anytime soon. Those tires should last you quite a while.
