It's from Tactical Armor Group in Georgia. Here's a link to their site:

http://www.tacticalarmorgroup.com

I placed an order for specifically what I wanted, a winch bumper with shackle mounts, four 5.5" holes for lights WITHOUT the lights, and no headlight or prerunner bars. They built my bumper and shipped it to a warehouse where I picked it up to minimize shipping costs. The bumper was relatively inexpensive, mainly because it requires a bit of welding but after all was said and done, I got exactly what I wanted welded to some brackets and bolted to my truck for less than what anyone on the internet was willing to offer, for practically the same product. Check out Leo's truck (username OGTerror), he's got the same bumper on his truck except he modified it.

Aux backup Lights- a Different Approach

As everyone knows, whether is a Dodge, GM or Ford the OEM backup lights meet the fed regs and that’s about it. There are several (many) aux backup light kits, some look better than others (and if it’s a work truck, who cares as long as it lights up everything) and several have posted their approach as well. I took a bit of a different approach.....while I do periodically tow (my 65 mustang on a tandem trailer), I wanted something a little stealthy that would work and look as if it was oem-.....while the flash on the camera reduces the actual effect, I mounted 2- 55 watt lights under the rear fenders, mounted in a manner to project out at a 45 degree angle down & away from the vehicle.



Activated by a 40 amp relay & mounted in the front drivers side kick panel (& actuated through the vehicles backup lights), we used the oem wiring harness & access ports to provide all the routing. Utilizing lighting techniques used by rescue personnel (indirect to reduce/eliminate possible blinding as compared to law enforcement who uses direct lighting to see evidence), the lighting projects approx 2-3 feet from & completely around each corner on the truck and because the mounting location is above the top of the bumper, light is reflected onto the hitch area as well (you can see the reflection on top of the exhaust tips). The aux lights are visually hidden, protected from road debris (including flung by the tires) and turn on automatically when placed in reverse. Power to the relay is obtained through an unused 20 amp circuit at the fuse box.
