    Looks good Matt, I like that it is pretty low profile. Doesn't look like your truck has an underbite as those prerunner style bumpers often do.

    Thanks ben. I kinda just went for it without looking at any other designs and it ended up turning out pretty good.

    So I wass going to design a bumper/lightbar thing for my truck by printing out some photos of the front end and sketching on them..... I then looked at pictures of my truck and realized that it's black and that's not going to work :(

    anyone have some front end photos of a not black truck handy that are not copyrighted? ;)

    :D

    x2. locker any time, fog anytime. the alternating blinkers, map lights on with dome light(thinking about that one) ABS bypass would be great for driving in all that snow and ice. i want to do it before i go to NY in a month.

    Lol yep. Theres four main bolts just above the frame rails. Two on each side. Then two plastic screw/clip thingies right on the frame ends. Lastly on the very corner of the bumper on each sides theres another bolt. Also make sure to disconnect your blinkers before removing the valence. It sounds like alot but its actually pretty simple.

    EDIT: the bolts are either 12 or 14mm, not positive

    Are you still planning to put an led light bar somewhere down low?

    Yeah. I took a peek down there today and think I figured out a way to do it. There's a metal bar that connects to the frame ends together. The valance covers it. I think I can mount the bar to the back side of it and face the light bar forward. It'd be kind of tucked back farther than I want though. Or I could get a piece of aluminum or steel and make a bracket off of it to bring the light forward more. I'm still undecided. It all depends on whether I can drill through that bar lol. I also would need to relocate my license plate.
