Be very careful to not step across the "I've got these for sale" line... You're standing on it right now...

Looks awesome, I'd take one. Would like some info on mounting points, support, bumper weight, finish (is that bed liner).. etc. Give us a little more info.

that looks awsome! looks very professional! I think it might look good if you maybe put some fog lights or D rings on both sides in that empty space

I love it. I too would like shackles on both ends (at least 3/8"). Looks just like a superduty, especially with the clearance lights. Am also waiting on the specs.

well whats great is he makes these on his own....so he could do special things for us seperatly
josiah...i know your good at photoshopping so if you get a chance....take the head on pciture of his truck and the bumper and if you could mabye downsize the bumper by 1/3rd or 1/2 that would be great.
also im interested to see what it would look like with shackles and on the ends a circular cutout to mount like a 6 inch light within the bumper.

i would greatly appreciate that

well thanks for all the compliments. i've never actually weighed one but id guess it weighs about 100 lbs before the line-x and maybe 130 after. the mounting flanges are 1/2" plate and so are the two main support pieces. all the exterior pieces are 1/8" plate with 1"x2" tubing behind for support. the push bars are 3/4" plate (just for the look)

as for the lights, the square F250 foglights will fit on each side of the hole just like they do on a 250.

Awsome! I'd get one just without the Line-x. Could you powder coat them?
