here are a few pics as of this afternoon of the new bumper. it is 1/4" steel 2X6's. it will be directly welded to the leading edge of the frame rails just above the hitch. there will also be a few added 'tabs' towards the end of the bumper where it will be welded also.
the top will be covered with 1/8" steel diamond plate and taper over the top edge of the bumper. the ends where the old plastic bumper end caps were will be similar in location and design, but of course using 1/8" or 1/4" steel.
i have not added the 1/4 panel protection along the sides until i really know how and where to do it without making a mess of the 1/4 panel and wheel well area. but the design is as such so i can add that later.
will also be adding a 1" steel bar parallel to the bumper that will start/end about 6" from the end of the bumper. it will stick out an inch or two beyond the spare to help reduce the risk of poping out the rear window and trashing the tailgate.
more pics to be added tomorrow along with the finished bumper, which will hopefully be by the end of the week.
