    I'm not sure yet. I will probably sell this bumper and build a winch bumper next, but I'm kind of doing it one at a time as I can find time. I'm going to get a weld-it-yourself kit put together soon for the people who can weld or know someone cheap to do it.

    Or just a refreshment when you get back to camp for the day or are just chilling in the shop with the truck or sitting around a bonfire. Also there are quite a few non-alcoholic beverages that require bottle openers.

    I haven't decided yet. To build another product I usually sell the old one to cover the cost, and I want to build a winch bumper next.

    Haha :eek:

    The skids are as cheap as I'm ever going to get them, so even if I did a package deal later it won't be near this good. I had to wrangle a kangaroo, wrestle with a shark, and castrate a honey badger to get the skids this cheap. The only thing you might save some money on is shipping charges with a package deal.

    Looks good Ryan. I like that top bevel angle across the bumper.

    Thanks. I like it too.

    I got about 300 miles this tank mostly city driving. I would say I kept my average 17-18 mpg.

    With the drastic change in my commute, I'm going from 22-24 mpg to about 18.

    Got this put on…….[​IMG]
    Factory muffler made it 170K miles over 12 years. Toyota 1 more, ford, dodge, chevy and the likes…zero.

    And also installed an error canceler in the passenger side light socket. Now my high beam indicator light works again.
