Need pics of front bumpers (2nd gen) custom or not

[Silverblade]

Well today is a RAINY DAY, yesterday was the most rainfall in Vancouvers history and unfortunetely someone cut off my friend and he wrote off his 5.0L.

Makes me think how much I can save myself if I have a front bumper so I am now in the process of building one.
My truck is stock so I dont want anything that will look out of place with my stock tires but I would greatly appreciate any pics of your 2nd gen custom or boughten front/rear bumpers. Thanks guys.

Here's the bumper I ordered from CRL Customs (now called Moab Off-Road).

Here's mine...

It's a TrailReady, but I think they pulled it from their web site- it was originally supposed to fit the Ranger.

Hey Doc, nice bumper bar thing you got there. Who is the maker of that bumper. It looks nice and light. Thats something I would be interested in. Are you going to paint it? and if you dont mind (how much do they run?)

 

[expo5.0]

I got it from CRL Customs (now Moab Off-Road). Cory is the guy who built it, and he helps sponsor this site. ( www.crlcustoms.com ) As for being light, it's not that light. With the winch plate it weighs about 80 pounds. I'm planning on giving a nice coating of Herculiner. Going to be very careful with my hootus, though. Including shipping, I paid $575. I got a few extras on it, so it boosted the price up from the base $350.

Hee Hee!! 80lbs!!!

Jeez, you need to come try and pick up one of mine!

The freight on the front bumper w/winch was about 350lbs!

It took 3 people to lift it up to the front of the truck and that's without the winch on it.

The rears gotta be about 150!

I probably changed the GVW class just puttin them on my truck.

OK, so I'm wrong...

Alright, you win.

Yes, the bumper is very light. The shipping weight was 84 pounds to be exact. But it'll be another 80 pounds for the winch!

 

[cdsl227]

Sometimes when I think of how much weight is on the front of that thing it spooks me...but then I remember I'm putting leafs up there...

 

[DocVijay]

Still I feel better now knowing that you have almost 200 more pounds up front than I do. My torsion bars feel better too!

 

[JoshC]

To update Docs first picture of my truck and bumper, he is mine with my own winch mount on it.

 

[Tat2dExploder]

I got the bumper mounted, but not the winch plate. No winch yet. I'll post some pics tomorrow.

 

[DocVijay]

Couldn't wait.

Here are some really crappy night pictures of the bumper.

Better ones tomorrow.

Holy Moly!! I thought mine stuck out there! You're gonna need those schoolbus mirrors on the front so you don't hit things!

Looks good, but it'd be better with the winch!

How many parking meters do you have to put money in?
