Just got done installing a new front bumper. I got this already cut one from Dave Lucus and I painted it black, his was white, and bada bing! Did it by myself and it took about 4 hours to do. I am very happy with it and I can have my stock one if I decide to sell or something, who knows.   Prescottj (Prescottj) Member Username: Prescottj Post Number: 197 Registered: 12-2002 Posted on Tuesday, February 18, 2003 - 07:59 pm:    How bout some real close-ups? looks good from what I can see my vision must be going bad from the green dash lights   Eric Pena (Evalp) Senior Member Username: Evalp Post Number: 382 Registered: 06-2002 Posted on Tuesday, February 18, 2003 - 08:16 pm:    LOL...I will try to get a couple but it is dark out now.   Eric Pena (Evalp) Senior Member Username: Evalp Post Number: 383 Registered: 06-2002 Posted on Tuesday, February 18, 2003 - 08:28 pm:    OK, what ya think? The file res is limited to 480X240 so they are kinda small.   Eric Pena (Evalp) Senior Member Username: Evalp Post Number: 384 Registered: 06-2002 Posted on Tuesday, February 18, 2003 - 08:33 pm:    I used the fog wires to connect the Hella's on the bruch bar so I can run them from the factory fog switch on the dash.   Prescottj (Prescottj) Member Username: Prescottj Post Number: 201 Registered: 12-2002 Posted on Tuesday, February 18, 2003 - 08:58 pm:    yes looks like a good cut job. nice improvement   Dave_lucas (Dave_lucas) Senior Member Username: Dave_lucas Post Number: 309 Registered: 02-2002 Posted on Tuesday, February 18, 2003 - 09:17 pm:    Eric, Sure looks better on your DII than in the corner of my garage.

As you can see from the pics I have lots of clearance in the front, I tested it on Behind the Rocks this weekend and it never even touched on any obstacles. I do not have a winch yet so I did not include a winch tray, but I have plans to add one in the future. The two recovery points are bolted through the back of the bumper as well as welded on the front for added strength. I may add an A-bar or some type of brush bar in the future But I am not sure yet. Sorry for the size of the pics, guess it is time to send Ho some pics so I can get a gallery.   Prescottj (Prescottj) Member Username: Prescottj Post Number: 220 Registered: 12-2002 Posted on Wednesday, February 19, 2003 - 12:23 pm:    Dave, you gotta show those newbies your SWEET ASS rear bumper. Your bumpers fuckin rock. Good job on makin em, definitley top notch I would love to change out my D1 bumpers for those but I got to build up my metal shop first so I can make em myself   Eric Pena (Evalp) Senior Member Username: Evalp Post Number: 392 Registered: 06-2002 Posted on Wednesday, February 19, 2003 - 06:24 pm:    OK, here are the sliders. Dave made them for me and I have not had a chance to use them yet but they are beefy and solid but look stock so they are perfect. They have anti-skid tape on the top to you can step on them and not slip. 11 bolts each side and they use the existing holes, 3\16" steel curved to the body! Dave does good work!!!   Prescottj (Prescottj) Member Username: Prescottj Post Number: 225 Registered: 12-2002 Posted on Wednesday, February 19, 2003 - 07:16 pm:    Dave, (In my best singing voice) Have I ever told you that your my hero   Dave_lucas (Dave_lucas) Senior Member Username: Dave_lucas Post Number: 316 Registered: 02-2002 Posted on Wednesday, February 19, 2003 - 07:41 pm:    Prescott, Thanks for all of the kind compliments about my work, but it says you surf discoweb for a living, so that would make you my hero. Eric, Glad you like them, now get out and use them!   Prescottj (Prescottj) Member Username: Prescottj Post Number: 226 Registered: 12-2002 Posted on Wednesday, February 19, 2003 - 09:00 pm:    you should repost pictures of yourt rear bumper to school some of the newbies.   Brian Dickens (Bri) Member Username: Bri Post Number: 209 Registered: 08-2002 Posted on Thursday, February 20, 2003 - 10:52 am:    Nice work Dave.
