    Yeah I plan on adding some Baja designs squadrons and honestly it was an after thought. I was far to excited to start chopping up my truck LOL

    Small update on the bumper. I know I mentioned before that I have It all fully welded but here's a pic showing the guts. Tomorrow I'll start grinding down the welds and smoothing everything out on the front side. Probably should start figuring out my fog light situation as well :D

    Functionality is great. Keeps everything in the bed dry, I can fold it down in less than a minute to haul stuff that doesn't fit.

    Lots and Lots of grinding and smoothing later. Still got some more grinding and tweaking to do. Baja designs squadrons are on the way for the fogs.

    Hey guys, I finally got the bumper all wrapped up, turned out killer! My local powder coat place had a color that matched my prinsu rack perfectly. Really happy with how this turned out. LMK what you guys think!

    To be honest I'm not exactly sure but I would guess around 80-90 pounds.
