No need for that shrock rear now. Since the custom built one is getting closer. If I wasn't raining on and off I'd be welding on it. But wet steel and welding not good mix

That's how I bent the angle of the bumper to corner radius.

Looks great! I'm interested in the seeing the side view of the rear bumper where the steps would be on a 2nd Gen. Also, are you planning on integrating the license plate frame somewhere or just tapping and drilling some holes somewhere?

This one has no side steps like one the 2nd Gen for this one, but it could be easily add on. There is how ever a small ledge on the corners that could be used as step. And as for license plate mounting this will be a dual swing arm bumper so it will have a place on swing were the fuel cans will mount.

Here's the latest pics.

Now with the hinges and tire carrier in progress; we decided on an angled swingarm to bend around the corner to give the arms space to swing.

Now this is fixed ;) I can upload pics easier. This is an older pic of the bumper off the X and Alex had already got the 1st hand look at it and can chime in with his thoughts but this is one though bumper.







So now everyone has to wait till it's done to see what  looks like.

Yep, I had the chance to see the bumper in full, and man, it's going to be heavy duty; it'll definitely outlast the truck. And the swingarms are going to work great, they can swing out a full 180 degrees or very close to it. I'm already thinking of things to add to it (lights, possibly stuff an OBA in there). We decided just to go with paint for now, then after I probably add on those mods/extras, it'll go in for a powdercoat.

Aside, oh the fun of waiting on jury duty. :D
