Well heres a few pics. Finally got around to doing it in the midst of fighting with this stubborn 302 of mine...

Passenger Side

Dont mind the not so perfect passenger side... It was made using my driver side measurements (forgot the truck was in an accident, on the drivers side) so it sticks out a little more and doesnt fit quite as nicely as the drivers does.

Nice! Need some front tires thou....and now the rear is misproportioned.....You know what i'm thinkin :D
 






Ah, the front has tires, they're just not on yet :D The rear will eventually get a similar caged fender, just thinking of how to do it along with the rest of the body. It'll eventually be my roll cage once its all tied into the frame+bumpers+sliders (when the sliders get finished) but now Im trying to get my stupid engine running again.. I hate engines and they hate me lol
 






Wow man very nice work. Looked at it when you started and thought they would be really nice.


Great Job

Thanks :) I like'em but Im just annoyed I didnt think about the driver sides crunch when I built the passenger side.. Im sure I can fix it when they're stuck to the frame, but it still bothers me that it sticks out so far lol
 






hey kins... where'd ya get that winch bumper?
 






I made the front and rear bumpers. Only 'problem' is, they dont work if you dont have a 3" body lift, so if I were to sell these two, I'd have to either modify them to fit on a stock truck, or sell the bodylift with them as a 'kit'.

Reason being, I wanted the best possible approach and departcher angle possible, while having, what I think, as a nice looking and functional bumper. So I chopped the front and rear of the truck and moved the bumper as high as possible. The winch in the front sits ON TOP of the frame rails, also allowing me to tuck it into the grill slightly more than other examples I have seen.
 






i'd love to see a few more pictures of the details. got a link?
 






I could write up a post with as many pictures as I can find on my front and rear bumpers if you want. I dont have to many of the construction of the front, and only a few of the rear.. But pictures non-the-less.

The front is heavily gusseted, and the rear still needs to be gusseted, eventually at least. Only overbuilt the front because it'll get used more than the rear until I put my receiver into my rear one.
 






And some more pictures of the fenders on the truck, with wheels.

Going to eventually modify the front bumper to flow better with the fenders, tie them together and start the sliders that are also getting tied into the fenders, then attach everything to the frame.. Hopefully it holds as well as I want it too, either that or I'll just get a real cage /shrug
 






Looks awsome, im sure it'll make people do the second glance thing when they see it driving around. You still need to mod the rear thou! look how uneven it is! Big winch bumper, SAS, Custom renforced fenders in front and the rear looks stock XP
 






The rear has a 'winch' bumper too (eventually will have a winch built inside as well, just cause). And will receive similar treatment on the fenders when I have time :)
 






nice! i really like that look, jus wish i could wrangle some more shop time outta my friends... sucks since my shop burned :(
