    [​IMG]

    Here's my list in order for the next couple months:

    Leaf springs installed
    BL removal
    Sliders welded on
    Rear bumper build
    Raptor line the bed
    New tires
    Trail Gear low pro
    TRD elocker 3rd member

    Here are the plans for the rear bumper, i think it will flow nicely with the kickups on the sliders

    BTW, the grille looks nice, and I think that bumper will come out nice! Don't know if I asked you this before, but what CAD program are you using?

    Thanks for all of your help, you and another user on here are using that to design some cool stuff, I'll check it out tomorrow when I'm not half asleep.

    3x5 square tube most likely..guess channel could work to but idk which would be stronger but i could always brace it from the inside and that would let me run the dshackle mount from the frame straight through the bumper but most likely tube and just cap it on the ends
