Tony and I are tearing into the truck today, got the bumper removed and set up the new bumper for this photo op.

I have been looking for this bumper for quite a while and this one showed up on E-Bay in OH. It is the same bumper used on the vintage Bigfoot Monster trucks.

I have been talking with Aric to have one built, but then I was able to get this one. I won't be using the Brush Guard that I had on the truck so it is for sale, and my old bumper will be installed on Droopy.

Pics aren't that great but you get the idea,..Whatdoyathink,..?

Yep, that looks like the Warn Enforcer. A great looking bumper. That thing is about a grand brand new and half of that is just for the mounting kit. It was too much for me so I went with the Warn Classic. About half the price.

Thanks! Yep I would like to have the that sort of rear bumper as well. just have to give it time.

It is the Warn ***** Bumper, I really didn't look to see if it was avaliable thinking it would be about a Grand. I figured someday I would find a good used one, It was about $450.00 and I was able to pick it up on one of my trips, so no shipping.

The Grill is a Lund item, it is like there Winter Fronts and I do have them also, but these allow air to flow through and are paintable. It just gives the grill a different look. The snap in and out real easily.


I went with the Warn Classic. About half the price.

The truck looks ;Sweet Gotta love those rust free California trucks!
