Okay heres all the pics everyones waiting for! First to answer some questions:
1. The bumper took about a week and a half to arrive which is pretty good i think coming freight from CA to VA and including build time.

2. The installation is pretty easy just make sure you have a deep enough socket to go over the bumper bolts ha. Also you can either get a new set of bolts to hold it on with or do what i did and just knock the old ones outta the bumper with a hammer (much easier).

3. Yes its really a 2x4 ha. Some specs of the truck include springtech 6.5/4 lift, ion alloy 174s with yokohoma geolander m/ts 315/75/16, gotts mod, magnaflow si/do turned out behind the wheels, streetglow inside and out, pa speakers in the grill wired to the door speakers (great for tailgatin purposes), fx2 rockstar decals (gotta love ebay), blue dome lights, hella 500s, and probably a bunch of other stuff im forgettin not including the audio ha

4. To DHGFX4 yea im from mechanicsville ha. I'm pretty sure i saw you on 360 this mornin ha. Most people know me as the "Don't Stare Your Daughter Might Be Inside" truck from the sticker across the rear window ha.

Now for the pics!!

Just a upclose shot of the side, It came with two brackets to go from the inside of the frame rails to the bottom of the bumper to fill the gap and give it six attachment points but one side of mine was a little messed up so it wouldn't fit inside so i just decided not to use either side.


just a shot from the top ha


another shot from the top, disregard the leftovers of the shipping label i got lazy and didnt wanna pull it off ha


just another shot from the side

and theres more pictures of just the truck in my album on here too ha

Thanks for those pics bud. I'm about to place my order with them... Gonna have it pc'd myself though. Can't decide if i want it grey to match my truck or black.

Also, i don't see your oil filter. Where'd you relocate it to? Mine is behind the bumper in front of the driver side wheel
