    Ya let me know. I have a friend with a DD I could borrow to make sure it fits if you decided you wanted to. I bet a ton of desert people would want them. Thanks for stumbling on that.

    LOL, I'm almost insulted. I think the Baja ones are butt ugly.

    Here are a couple pictures to refresh your memory.

    The crossmember on the front of the frame is what makes it so hard to make a good looking bumper for these trucks. I cut mine off and put a piece of tubing there. My skid plate also wouldn't be so low if it wasn't for my diff and its drop for the lift. I saved everything to put my truck back to stock though if I ever sold it.

    Well I guess the color scheme of your bumper must have reminded me of the baja. Now that I see those pics yours looks way better and I love the piece of the plastic bumper you left in there. Any chance you gonna make some more bumpers?

    I can make anyone any bumper for any generation they want if they want to come to my house. Also contingent on that I can make it look professional and it's worth my time. I wouldn't make someone a ARB style bumper only because I only have a angle grinder and it would take me forever to cut out all that stupid flat plate. I like to make $20 an hour plus material. I would consider building and shipping the bumpers if it didn't involve cutting the cross member out. I thought leaving the piece of bumper there made sense since the tube needed to be away from the grill to get the skid plate angle more ascetically pleasing and having a gap there looks silly to me, even though a lot of people have gaps there.

    Looks much more appropriate on a rig with a tube bumper like in the first pics.

    I would be willing to take the factory cross member off to run that bumper and your tube cross member.

    You have to cut the cross member off, not sure if you knew that or not. I then welded the tube in. It may be possible to make one bolt on, I'm not sure.

    FYI I ordered tabs to make more bars if anyone thinks they are serious about one.

    I like this. If you come up with a way to mount them with a 2011 grill let me know.

    Will do. I don't know anyone with the grill at the moment though. If anyone lives in the Denver area hit me up.
