Roll pans are cheap, im gonna get one and spray can bedliner it, should Look good.what can u do about license plate lights tho with that bumper or a roll pan?

 

I'm warning you if you go with a roll pan you will have NO extraction points on the back of your truck! If you try hooking a chain to the frame it will break your fiberglass roll pan! As far as lights you have the wiring right there from the stock bumper. So anything you want! LEDs or whatever.

 

he could weld in a steel roll pan and a set of hooks to the frame

 

Bolt on hitches are below the bumper/roll pan.

 

Yes Sean they are but bolt on hitches are made to go under a stock bumper and back as far as the stock bumper sticks out. So a stock bolt on hitch with a roll pan looks retarded! And hangs about 4 inches lower then the roll pan! But if you custom build it to sit close to the roll pan...then you got a sweet set up!

 

Kind of ruins the look of a smooth roll pan to stick hooks through it. And he said cheap roll pan. From the roll pans i have seen for these trucks the only cheap ones are fiberglass.

 

Looks nice! Evenly set & straight. Some high power(fog) back -up/ trailer spot lights on your headache bar and your good to go! I stuck a 1/2 ton crane in my bed, made a nice solid box frame of 2”x1/4 angle to the frame/ AND welded to my class V hitch. Looking to install a separate battery under the quarters for extra power to the crane winch. ( I got a hernia picking up a FE short block packing up after a swap meet). I look at my truck as a tool. If it can make my life easier, I’ll figure out how to add it! A good solid base like your tube bumper is a great start!

 

Thanks!! Ya those squares in the corners of the headache rack are for some rear facing lights.
Ya that's what I'm thinking for this truck...make it a usable tool that can do a bit of everything! This bumper gives me a way better aproch and departure angle then stock! About 4 inches!
Today I made 1/2 inch thick shackle mounts for some D ring shackles! Tomorrow I should have the finished welding done and painted! So I'll post some more pics of the finished product!

I like the idea of the hoist! I have one sitting by the shop I should mount in this truck!! You should post pics!

 

U should sell me abumper

 

That's a damn sweet bumper man! I've never seen one like it, and that's really nice, great idea.

Strikes me as a more street oriented bumper though, I like having one that sticks out a little though, I want tubes like yours, but that go around those back fenders too
