Seriously cool!

Can you take a pic with the rear tailgate down? I am wondering the clearance. I plan on building a bumper and want to know how high I can go.....

I like the bumper, way nice. How do you have your spare mounted inside??

Any other pics!!! ??? Thats really nice. I have been throwing around ideas for tube front and sliders and something similar to this would definately make it uniform.

Any way to incorperate a hitch?

Clearance (Tailgate)

There is about 1/2" (maybe a hair less) of clearance with the gate down. I used a yard stake clamped to the top of the frame rails for a jig with the top tube sitting on top

. The tubing is 1 3/4"

Hitch

I added a 2" receiver to the bumper for a recovery point. I think it improves

asthetics as well.

that is really nice. it really looks good on your rig. what color did you use to paint it and how did you paint it?

 

[akarilo]

Paint

That is somthing called "Hammered Finish" that you can get at Lowes or Home Depot. The color is called Dark Bronze, but as you can see, it looks grey. I used it my old rig as well and it's really easy to touch up as it comes in a can.
