    Unfortunately I don't offer it as a weld together kit.

    I should add that I use a 1/4 winch plate and 3/16 shell so it's made to take some abuse.

    Those are some great looking bumpers! I like how it goes into those little notches on the top.

    Thanks guys. Hopefully this is something I'll put into production very soon. I'd like to test fit on another truck before I actually put them on my website.

    For any locals this bumper will be at Lonestar jamboree.

    Nice bumper, definitely better looking without the tubes on top.

    Snugtop XTR, 7-pin relocate, 32" Pizza cutters, block heater, rearview riser with radar detector mount, more to come
    That is a good looking bumper.

    I think that the single hoop would look better if you made it a little bit wider and moved it up the little bumps so that it more closely lined up with the outside lines of the grill, then dropped the height so that the top of the tube was just at the top of the grill. Might offer less protection that way though.

    Would be interested in the final weight as well.

    I would also be interested in a kit.
