    Thanks. The bumper will be cool. I don't think it will be as big and bulky as some of the other plate bumpers out there.

    Yeah, they're pretty strong, but come with a big price tag. I heard there was one stronger but I haven't brken one of these yet so I don't see the need to spend more money than I already have.:eek:

    Wow, it took me several settings to get through this thread. What an awesome truck, I don't imagine much gets in the way or stops the "BEAST". To bad I have to use my Tacoma as a DD, or that I do not have a few extra G's to spend.

    I live up here in San Jose, and I do some work for Sol with awesome FJ. When I was at his house today and we were talking 4 wheelin, he suggested I check out your truck. Boy was he right, that thing is ubber cool.

    Nice Truck.

    Hey How's it going? The Beast is doing well. I'll put it all bac together on Saturday and it will be 2" shorter than it was in the front. That will be a good thing. Glad you like the bumper. We do a special one that covers the bottom of the rear lights but it's custom.

    Take it easy over there, and thank you for serving our country. My hats off to you. Be safe.

    Wyatt
