Replacement Bumper? Look at this!

[BIG BOB]

A friend of mine, Calvin, made this bumper for his truck. He is a very talented guy, He also make the "Air Ride Suspension" for his truck. I'm going to have to get him to make a bumper for the "White Obsession" with just a few modifications.

Man,that is a nice bumper,id like to see close ups of his air ride setup. I see the long lower arms for the rear suspensiom. It must be a huge improvement over the leav/lift block setup,that gives me wheel hop,and the rubbery feel when loaded.

That is one nice bumper!!

He needs to quit his day job

and make full time.

I WOULD LOVE TO BUY ONE. Is he selling any. Let me know i really like it. Looks Great. How much.

 

[Mark_Kendrick]

If he doesn't make one to sell did he CAD it? I could get it cut locally... I REALLY like the Ram's head!!!!!



Very cool.

Calvin said he would make them with or without a winch mount. He will also powder-coat them, your color choice or paint them the color of your truck. E-mail me for a price.

We were visiting Coeur d'Alene on Monday night, staying at the Inn, and walked past that truck on our way to dinner. Couldn't help but notice it as it was idling while it was parked. The question I have is: What type of modifications does he have under the hood? The truck sounds good idling! Small world!

 

[BIG BOB]

DRB,



You should have given me a call. Would have liked to meet you.



Calvin has 370 injectors, high flow delivery valves, a ground fueling plate, straight 5" exhaust, (he use to have stacks and a headache rack w/lights and polished aluminum tool box that he build on it, I really like them), special air filter he made the mount, and I think he might have a spring kit. It's really a good looking truck!



At "Diesel Thunder in Spokane" last August he dynoed at 347. 2 HP.



Carson6,



No air holes that I know of except the Ram Head.

Yeah, I would have liked to have met you too. I will returning to the area in the next few months. We'll have to make arrangements. I was very tempted to stop and talk to the truck owner, but it looked like he was waiting for somebody, and though it would have turned the romantic walk into a more interesting evening, I don't think that the better half would have felt the same!

Come to think of it, I bought my '97 in Kellogg. It truly is a small world, isn't it?
