Bumpers should be done within the next few days, in the mean time, here are a few update's as of last night:

yep, wasn't sure if you got that fixed or were just gonna wait untill you got your prerunner bumper fabbed up. my rear only has a small ding in it at the moment so it's still good, my front, we'll it lost

thanks again.

New pics
What do you guys think of how the lower tube is set up on the rear bumper. The last pic is how I'm thinking it would look better. Whats your opinion?

ehhh. I didn't think version 1 was that bad - I kinda liked it. With the damn hitch that low it's never gonna look right, I'm afraid. Any way to bring the hitch up (and just use a huge drop to keep the trailer realistic)?

A.I.I.Raciing · 01-16-2008, 09:26 PM

The only thing that could have been done with the hitch was to section it. Then go back in and gusset the hell out of it, only problem is that I didnt really want to be worried about the strenght when I have my Ranger and Trailer behind me.

did you look at the armada hitches? they are built a little different and may be a lower profile for what you have...

how's the spare tire lowering gear working?? i assume you'll relocate that to the bed in time anyway?

galaxycrew · 01-17-2008, 05:05 PM

AII...i took the hitch off of my brother in law's QX56 (which i would assume is the same as the armada) and it seems as though it sits higher than yours. if im not mistaken, it comes up to the level of the spare tire. i had to rip the bumper off just to get the hitch on. leaving the bumper on would NOT allow the hitch to go in, and because i needed to tow my buddies car to the track, i did it. and now im to lazy to switch it back. ill get you pics when i can.

A.I.I.Raciing · 01-17-2008, 07:06 PM

Its kind of to late now to worry about the hitch, that would have been nice to of know before...Oh well

Please post those pics if you can, that way I can shake my head in shame...haha

Pretty nice! Wish I had the balls to modify my truck like that. Maybe in a few more years. Anyway do you thnk you saved any weight?

Nice job with the truck. Wasn't too keen on the first rear bumper, but the final product looks much better. You da man!

What else is there to do besides paint?

Engine mods?

All I plan on doing is paint and another front suspension, oh and gears for the stock rear end.
In all reality, I'm gonna paint the truck, get new suspension front and rear, headers, hi-flo cats, Wilwood breaks on 4 corners, Curry 9 inch, 3 Hella HID's.

lowlypawn-I doubt I saved any weight, if anything I might have added some, I'm not really concerned with weight.
