I know everyone always makes threads about replacement bumpers, and no one can ever really help out, since front replacement bumpers are rare on the forum (it seems). However, I put this thread up for some feedback on my evil plan. I am going to be getting front and back replacement bumpers next spring (everyone knows to add 6 months from the date you actually set ). I will most likely be going with the Buckstop BAJA front bumper and a random back bumper (cheap). On top of that, I wanted led lights bars on the front bumper. I was originally going to put a led bar (or two) behind my grille, but then came up with a cool idea. I took what few skills I have to the test and opened Photoshop. I took the Buckstop BAJA bumper and replaced the 6" off road lights (where the fogs are) with led light bars. Now I don't know if Buckstop would let me do this, or if they could, but if they can't then I will see if another brand can do it (iron bull, fab fours, road armor, or Boondock). I have three choices for you guys/girls(?) today. Tell me which one you would want, like, or think is best. Also your input on my idea.

My truck:


Buckstop project 1:

Buckstop project 2:

Buckstop project 3:

Buckstop project 4:

Note: Project 1 and 4 would be 10" led bars, may be able to fit 20", but I don't know. Project 2 and 3 are 20" bars, if there is a 30" bar it may fit as well. Also, they aren't the actually size, remember I did this in photoshop and resized them.

Poll:
Project 1 - 0
Project 2 - 2
Project 3 - 2
Project 4 - 0

 

I personally like the last option of the LEDs slightly slanted. I also personally like the Boondock bumpers more.

Off topic, but what are you doing with your tow hooks and lower valence, if you dont mind me asking. (in need of some)

 

Yeah, Boondock was my second choice, only because they are near by. Only issue is, I like "crazy" looking bumpers, not pre-runners, and right now it looks like Boondock is only doing pre-runners . Also, I probably won't be doing anything with the "lower valence" (I take it, it's the black part of the bumper, or the entire front bumper?), but I may keep my tow hooks. I know the tow hooks look weird with this bumper, but I can't say for certain on that. If your planning on waiting till next spring, I'll keep you posted.

 

Hey man ill be in Tulsa for the big gun show in November if you want to hook up and look at a Buckstop Classic in person. Id go with the 6 and 4 inch round lights and put a 30in lightbar in the center just in front of the winch access door.

 

I like the LED's on the angle, thats gonna look sick when you get it on

 

I'd go with #2.

 

Nice. I've gone there a few times, but the only problem is, you always want to buy something . What is the Buckstop Classic? I didn't think there was an outlet around here. Also, that idea would be cool, but hard to do with a winch there.

 

I'd like to see a photoshop of the #1 option with the lights right on top of each other where it makes more of a square instead of them staggered. IMO #3 looks like it's smiling.

 

Funny you say that, cause I was actually going to do that. You wish and shall receive. Buckstop project 4! Could I ask what one you would go with? I take it not Project 3, haha.

 

I hope so. Can't wait until next year when I finally purchase the bumpers.
