    Yeah, that looks pretty sweet to me. Unless you see something that will cause problems.

    OK, that settles it. Payment has been sent to Brute Force Fab. Poll ended up with the same result. Though after everything, even if it hadnt, I'd probably still gone with Brute Force. If you care about what I ended up ordering, its something like this:

    This style Bumper:

    With these cut outs:

    Don't leave us hanging!

    You GOTTA post pics when you get the bumpers are installed to complete the thread.

    I got his rear bumper and LOVE it. Pics in my album if you're interested. I got the high clearance hitch behind the license plate. I've since fabbed a hinged license plate holder for my receiver. Great set up!

    So Billy....I know its only been about a week, but have you had a chance to start on the front bumper yet? I'm like a little kid on Christmas Eve about this thing. The suspense is killing me.
