sure, whattya want?
 






looks really good :thumbsup:
 






Nice! I also like the custom quarter panels. I notice you are using stock rims. Are those 33 x 10.50's, 33 x 11.50's or 33x 12.50's?
 






Congrats on the newly aquired height :thumbsup:
The rear bumper is ok, but (IMO) the front looks out of place.. The center hoop should be taller and the side wings are too wide.. It does take a lot of time and skill to fab so I admire that aspect of your work. I'd have to think long and hard and study various tube styles before setting out to make my own...

under normal circumstances i wouldnt go so wide, however this one is set up to run hard and fast off road and after spending the duckets on glass fenders taking a hit from one of those jumping joshua trees would most likely ruin my day.
 






I'm guessing from your boardname and the fact that you want coil overs you'll be bombin' the desert pretty hard. Just a word of advice, be careful doing it with just the bracket dropdown lift. Not as strong as you want it.

thanks for the advice, we installed the superlift kit as part of our tv show, once we get some footage of it we will be building something a little more hardcore. stay tuned!

Whoa, whoa whoa... What tv show? Is it local or national? What channel? I love car & truck shows on tv.
 






looks good..how long did it take you to make the bumpers?
 






Looks great! But you never answered if the tires were 10.50, 11.50, 12.50 ect.

I know. I was the one who asked that question...
I'd say they do not look like 12.50's but I can't tell for sure. The fact that they are on stock rims can be deceiving...in that the stockers can make them look more narrow than they actually are...
