I dig the few from the rear, except the lights. But, the side view is missing something.....

Looks like a good start.

It look's nice, can't wait to see it finished, just the lights are looking like somethin on pimp my ride

SCSL · 10-29-2006, 06:57 PM

Well done!

(But I agree...lose the light)
Also - cut off that tailpipe...it's gonna drag on a rock & mess up that pretty stainless...

Is it me, or is your rear right tire off camber a bit???

smileyq · 10-29-2006, 09:55 PM

Very cool man. Looks to me like you beat the hell out of that truck. Good job with the bumper.

Funrover · 10-29-2006, 10:43 PM

Looks like a great start!!!!!!! Can't wait to see the final project!

Hehe....I was thinking that myself, so much so, that I went outside at midnight last night with a flashlight to check it out. Turns out that the vehicle is fine, the way the picture was taken combined with the fact that I parked on a slight bump made the rear right wheel look distorted.

Critiquing is good. Can you be more specific?

As for the lights, yes, im thinking about dropping them....though they were $$$ :P

Can anyone give me any suggestions about what would look better? I have to have something there to cover up the massive gaping holes cut to allow me to bolt the bumper up.

Once you relocate the exhaust...... Officially mount the lights it'll look great.. Arn't you planning a tire rack or Jerrican holder?

keptin · 10-30-2006, 12:22 AM

yeah, I will have a tire carrier, and perhaps a double jerry can holder also.

The lights are ghetto-mounted right now (zip-ties). If I can I'd like to keep them, I have clear ones w/ amber LEDs that I was going to use....perhaps I'll just stick with those.

Instead of haveing lights on the bumper...What about mounting the LED's on the rear pillar??...... Just a thought!

keptin · 10-30-2006, 01:23 AM

What I was actually thinking about was to do as many others have and rig my reverse lamps as turn signals (with amber bulbs) and then have 55watt lamps on the bumper as my reverse lights. I may do this...but its more work....though, the payoff is a better result.

disco12 · 10-30-2006, 03:00 AM

again Josh it looks good. Are u going to build a front or RTE the front.
