Truck looks great either way! Wasnt sure I was going to like the bumpers but I dig the set up!


Well for me it was simple...I didn't want to spend $3500 on 4X4 when I have had it on so many other trucks and hardly ever use it other than in my 71 international Scout hunting truck. See for me this is just my drive everywhere, have a good time truck that is NEVER going in the woods and I sure as heck am not tearing it up mudding ( I grew out of that a few thousand dollars ago in repairs to another truck over the years).


I bought this truck with a vision in mind of how I wanted it to look and what I saved alone on the 4X4 that I was never going to use paid for the bumpers and a couple of other small things. For me this truck is all about the looks and has nothing to do with its capabilities.

To each his own I guess. You say you didnt want a 4x4 because it would be a waste of money yet you buy a huge bumper/brush guard and lifted it but you never plan to offroad or mud... Thats what I just dont understand. Dont get me wrong your truck looks great! And nobody should ever tell you how to and how not to spend your money. My statement was just one of not understanding why. Keep up the build though! I am enjoying it and truly dig how your truck looks overall.
