Default Headache rack and lift
You could build a headache rack and lift for your truck for under $200. If your good with welder and an angle finder. Bumper is about $200on its own

That's what I did to mine. It's painted with Rustoleum, and it's held up great for about 3 years now.

It lasts half a winter here. It would last longer with 4 coats of clear. IF you gave it a good rub afterwards.

Very nice man! I'm definately happy with mine. I kind of wish I could paint the cross member as well, that skid plate sitting on that ugly rusted cross member of mine makes it look too fresh for the truck haha

She is BOLD absolutely not used to that look

Glad the fiberglass did not crack

perfect fit minus the old gasket sticking out

Solder + Electrical Tape + Shrink Tube = Weatherproof connection

They work! This is mid day and during the night it is much brighter than stock bulbs
Can I ask where you got the moon visor? And if you could post a picture from the side of the truck with it? Please and thanks
