Default Leave chrome?

I have iron bull front bumper, getting rear as well. Should I leave every thing else chrome? Grill, wheels and step bars.

Hey would you mind telling me how thick those D-Ring mounts are?? I've been thinking about making some to mount to my frame to give me attachment points after getting rid of my tow hooks for my bull bar.

The bumper looks amazing by the way! I love it! That's what I want if I were to get a real bumper like that but I wanted chrome to match my truck

Not sure on the thickness of the mounts, but those are 3/4 shackles on the bumper. I will measure them and let u know.

I wanted to stay with a chrome bumper myself, but after hitting the 2nd deer I decided to go with this bumper. I got tired of having to have my truck fixed.

The grille definitely needs to be black. The wheels and bar can go either way, really..

Nice bumper even though it kind of makes makes it look like a Titan in the front. But you should ditch all the chrome and do a matte black and red theme with your truck. Thats what I'm slowly starting to do with mine. And put some HD headlights and taillights on yours too.
