    Theres not too many pics of 2nd gens with this bumper so I thought id post. Just got it a few days ago, I love it!!

    I chose to paint it with bedliner. It took about 1 can per coat and I put on 4 coats. Looks great! Install was a bit tougher than expected as the holes didnt line up perfectly... It took a bit of grinding with a dremel to get them right. image.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpg

    It weighs about 100lbs, I didn't notice a change in suspension height in the front but I did notice a change in handling. Its actually better now, it hugs thr road through bumps and feels much more solid. Picked it up from 4wheel parts for a very reasonable price, but it did take about 5-6 weeks until I got it. I am really happy with it, and it looks great!
