^My thought exactly. Now if only he gets paid in trident layers...

I love the bumper. Looks like a lot of protestion and if a deer runs in front of you, you can take it home and eat it. YUMYUm. Lol. Big fan of your brush guard.

Did you bend your own pipe, or get it prebent?

Nice work but if you can build that why not just ditch the factory one and build a full on bumper?

The pipes were bent with a hydraulic pipe bender, the grille was fabricated in my husbands metal fab studio.

Thanks Gee oh Dee, that's my husband and he will love being called a badass. He smokes a cigar and drinks scotch every time he builds something cool (which is almost everyday!)

Uh oh, all I asked my husband for was a brush guard, now you just gave me another idea to add to my wish list, which grows everyday

He built some matching side rails today, I'll post pics when they are done
