    Just recently installed a set of Brute Force Fab front a rear bumpers on my truck, which are awesome by the way, and was wondering if someone could fab me up a cover to fill in the square tube used to mount the front bumper. See pic below. The official state mineral of Michigan is rock salt and would like to keep as much of it out of this area as possible.

    I was thinking of something that would slid into the square tube and fasten via a sheet metal screw or thread hole from the back of the square tube. PM me any ideas and cost.

    Thanks powereng.

    Oh yeah, pics of bumpers.

    Just go buy some sheet metal and snips, it shouldn't be to hard to bend it and screw it on.

    Michigan doesnt sound like a toyota state, prepare yourself to be blamed for singlehandedly putting the big 3 out of business and all of the city of Detroit's problems.

    I would want it left open so I could stick a hose in there to rinse out the salt.

    I thought of doing it myself, but in Michigan you are legally required to use UAW millwrights to bend metal. :D
