    Here's my "metal" bumper:



    But I'm guessing that's probably not what you intended to ask for. Best to head over to the armor thread/sticky linked above...

    A little update. I got the paint on it. Trying to wait until next Saturday to let the paint harden up a bit before I put it back on, but it's already starting to niggle at me, haha...

    More or less. It's about 80% trail rig and 20% hauling crap. Just dragged a trailer with a yard of gravel for the rock garden/flower bed with it the other day, but about half the mileage I put on it is off-road. Normally, I prefer to do my running around in the T4R, though.

    Being close enough to it in action to nearly have my foot run over I can attest it is a very serious and capable truck! :D

    The diamond plate was actually my work, but the rest was definitely all Todd's. :thumbsup:

    This was actually the event that precipitated the new bumper since I tore the factory bumper up a bit doing this.

    Funny thing even though I was actually filming this at the time I didn't see the compression or wrinkle at all. I'm always amazed at what abuse tires take when you watch them in super slow mo, it's incredible, really helps you understand why bead locks are a thing and amazes me that bead locks aren't MORE necessary.

    I need to get a snorkel before I can come back out to play, my intake is far too vulnerable for my liking now that I can't run splash guards, ordering said snorkel this weekend lord willing.
