I think i'll just shoot Dr. Phil too:shoot:hahaha

Thanks Gabe. I'm so excited to get it back this weekend and drive it. Cory did say the bumper brackets came in friday, i didn't get to ask if the other 2 shocks and brake lines came in. If all goes well, he said it should be done thursday, but i've got to give him a call to see about a pick up time.
 






The long awaited front bumper pics...

Not shown is the tube that goes between the brackets near the bottom.

I am thinking of adding two clevis mounts in the future.

It is also setup to receive a winch plate. Will be as simple as adding 4 bolts when the time comes.
 






Awesome!

I WANT ONE!

I'll take it with the clevis mounts and the winch plate. Just let me know what the time frame and price is. Now I just need to convince my wife I really need this bumper!

Cory, you rock!
 






Very nice Cory! Definantly needs a winch plate or something in there. Any room for tow hooks anywhere on this bad boy?
 






I'd do one in the future, but would want a skid plate in there between the mounts to protect the radiator.

looks great

Also do the mounts have to drop down so much farther than the frame rails or can we just cut the old mounts off and make them flush?
 






SHAWEEEETTTTT!!! Nice job Cory...

Josh you have one sweet looking X there now!
 






Actually the way those drop down there would be perfect for those of us with body lifts... Lets us flush them up to the frame a bit while still lining everything else up with the body... SCHWEEEEET front end man... I want one...
 






I like the way it hugs the frame on both sides.
That should strengthen the front end to some degree.
 






How much of the front frame did you have to cut off cory?

How much does that bumper run?
 






cory, in all seriousness would you be willing to produce a few of those bumpers? i dont know how much trouble it is to make one of those bumpers but that would be awesome on my 92. the way those brackets are made i think it would work out well with the 3 inch body lift that i have. get back to us and let us know if you could possibly produce a few of them.
 






Thanks a bunch guys.

The more i look at it the more i love it!

I've got some 3/8" aluminum diamond plate that i think i'll cut to fit in there for a skid plate Dave.

Cory does plan on making these. We thought he'd have some good responses to this bumper, so i think he is getting about 5 kits for the brackets made up so he can make a bumper kit.
 






anyone know how much (ie: cory do you have a price set?)

Are there any potentials to get it modified some?

I would be interested but I have to know how much its gonna be. Didn't he send one off for powder coating? How mush is it powdercoated?

Oh you don't need bling bling.... just rhinoline it... ya know yer gonna smash into stuff... cheaper to repaint the rhinoliner than bling bling powdercoat ;) :p
 






nice! kind of looks like its got a clear powdercoating on it. its hard to tell but it looks too shiny for stock steel. not sure.

Thats exactly what I was thinking... LineX here I come!!! LOL...
 






That is one bad@$$ machine. I'm jealous now, mine was always bigger than my brothers but not anymore. I believe I'd also be in line for one of those bumbers. Great work Cory!

:p

I'm not sure of the cost either. I don't know if i get a break being the piggy again, like the rear bumper! But it doesn't matter to me. I would have done it in Rhino or LineX, but i hate to wash that stuff, and i do love to keep my truck shinning. So, we'll see how long in can keep it looking good!

Ya I thought of that after I posted. Line-x would be nice. I would just use rustoleum though. Last time when I herced my sliders they look like hell now. Gotta get them off and get them sand blasted so I can go back to the rattle can. That bedliner stuff is great in a bed, but when you have a 4500 lbs vehicle sliding over rocks on it it doesn't hold up well..... maybe line-x would but not herc.
