NO real updates here... Went in last night and rough tacked up most of the front for @TonyP . Woke up this morning at 3am with a fever. Some bug going around...

Went in to give the powdercoater the rear bumpers and go back home. Hope to be back in tomorrow.

Would be nice to see a version 1/version 2 comparison shot with this v2 image.

Got one Tony?
 
I like how you dealt with the bumper replacement points on the upper fender wrap.

That is the hardest part of this bumper. The center and wings are pretty straight forward, but getting the caps just right has proven to be a PITA on V1 and V2.

I'll have to make a complete hard jig just to set up the caps. Otherwise it will be off and extremely noticeable. IMO, this is why most others don't make this style of bumper and stick to a straight line approach and cut.

Between now and Sunday I will make 2 complete hard welded bumpers so I can build a jig. Once the jig is set I'll sell one of those and store the original in case there is ever any damage to the jig. Same thing happens on the rear bumper...

Ah!! You did go to a bull bar! SWEET!!!

Those Baja Designs look killer, too.
 
Sweet bumper and LP9's!
 
The bull bar tubes look to compliment the lines of the grill and the outer lines of the fender. Can't wait to see the full thing. It's definitely one that I'm going to watch.
 
Jason:

Are you going to be building these bumpers in series, or just one offs? If I wanted one, could you build it and ship it, or only custom built with the truck on site?

Had this bumper been out sooner, I'd have tried to do this instead of my TJM--even though I am supremely please with it.

Curious about bull-bar strength. Do the bars pass through the bumper for internal bracing?
