    Yea thats what I used on my front bumper. It seems to be holding up alright. Rocks chip it off but the main reason I went with it, is because I can touch it up when I get a scratch or chip.

    I meant, do you keep the spare in the bed or back seat, and is it mounted down? The reason I ask is I will need to find a way of taking care of the spare, and I don't want it mounted down in the bed.

    Any good? Heard better things about Herculiner, but this seems nice for touch ups.

    I lost track thousands of dollars ago.
    it's just sitting in the bed right now so i can take it out whenever I just home I don't get a flat with it out :confused:


    I don't really like the look of Herculiner and Ive heard it fades fast.

    Well I got home last night and the bumper was dry enough to install so I did. Its a simple 4 bolt install it took about 10 or 15 min from taking off the old one to installing this one. Its pretty tight around the bed sides so I taped off everything so I didn't fuck it up (thanks for the tip Tim)

    Okay so the weight, the stock bumper weighed in at just under 50lbs and the new one is just under 100lbs. Now that's just the bumper I had no tow package if your taking off the tow package as well I don't think you will be adding much weight.

    Here is a crapy cell phone pic I still need to hook up my computer in my new house to do any pictures on my camera.

    How will you paint the sliders since they have to be welded on? Paint most of it, weld, then paint the rest under the truck?
