Getting a New Front Bumper Built

[CrewCabDiesel]

Well after spending hours on the internet and on the phone having jerks tell me that no one fixes up old Dodge trucks, :{ I got a welder friend to build me one. It should be finished in a week. It is a rice burner eating, deer catching monster (we are using some ideas from Warn Classic and other bumper manufactures for some of the design). It is form fitting to the front, has complete protection of the grill and has cutouts for my off road lights as well. I am also having him install a matching 2 1/2" (I have a class 5 rear hitch) receiver tube in the middle so I move trailers around and also have a 8K lbs winch mounted on another draw bar that I will be able to use on either the front or back of the truck. I will also have another mounting point for the winch on my car trailer as well. cost on it is around $375 and I am going to have it covered with rhino bed liner material. As soon as it is done I will post some photos. What do you all think ? Any suggestions or ideas?

Way to go Kyle. Look forward to seeing the picks.



Am I going to have to add extensions to my bumper to stay the largest in the GLTDR?

Sounds very good. I have always wanted to do the same thing. One thing that bugs me is that part of the radiator on our trucks is down in behind the bottom of the grill and bumper. I have always thought it would be neat to make a bumper with some holes that feed air up toward the bottom of the radiator. Be nice when your towing to have the extra air. I like the idea of the hitch in front. Ill be looking for the pics.
