Crazy dude. I'm excited to see that on the truck. I've thought about building my own bumper, but wasn't sure how to go about seeing what it would look like on the truck. Awesome idea with the cardboard. I think I'll have to try that out now

thanks, i need to take pictures of the whole place. its a big steel building with about a 15ft. garage door on one side then two probably 25-30ft. doors on the side of it. its where i do most of my work. i'll get some pics later.

oh yeah the cardboard definitely helps. you can pretty much just make it how you like it very easily. just make sure to cut all the pieces right because cardboard can bend and flex when you pull on it but once you start fabbing it up the steel will not haha

thanks for the picture, i guess that clears that up. seems like i won't have to worry about the airbag sensor since its so far back.

also a little update of the work we did today.

got the other side tacked up but we need to cut a few more pieces out then mount it up on the truck and do the bottom.





oh and a few pics of my shop that we call the shed as requested.

On these trucks I'm not sure. Havent really looked for them. But maybe on the frame rails somewhere either infront of the radiator or behind it is where I'd start my search.

Also like that hustler ztr in the background. Been thinkin about buying some how do they run?
