Finally got my new bumper on!

[whoisjeron]

I finally got my custom tube bumper installed this weekend and I couldn't be happier. Looks mean as hell and is way stronger than my stocker. Thanks to Dunetech Offroad for the awesome build quality!

I re-wired the turn signals into the corner lamps and installed 2 6in Warn lamps as well. I'll soon be replacing them with a pair of 8in, and moving the 6's up to my roof basket (total of 4).

I'm half tossing around the idea of painting the skidplate black to keep the blacked out theme, what do you guys think?

Before with just the stocker painted.

I was just in Tigard visiting family. surprised its dry when you took those pics. I had ONE nice day while there. sure dont miss the rain.

then I get back to montana and its rained all day today. can't get away from it.

i Like the bumper. its purdy

For some reason....I find tube bumpers looks so much better on Black trucks! Nice Rig!

 

[DriVen]

That exactly what I want on my black rig. What did it cost you if you don't mind me asking

 

[Zachpins34]

damn! if mine was 4x4 that's exactly what i would do. looks good

Thanks for the feedback guys!

What do you think about painting the skidplate black?

@DriVen I got it for $350, but he said he'd probably never do another one for that price. Apparently the 3rd gens can be a bit of a P.I.T.A. when it comes to making the mounts strong enough to tow from, plus he gave me a $200 skidpate (the thing is THICK and very functional). He definitely put a lot of extra work into mine. If you look around, though, you can probably find fab shops that will do it for about the same price. Just be wary of build quality. I've seen some real hack jobs.

Looks damn good, I'd paint the skid too

Black it out. Ride looks good!:thumb3:

 

[blcktpgsr]

I second the idea of painting the skid plate...looking good, though!

 

[the great him]

sweet rig man! i say leave it silver, its a good contrast but its your rig...

 

[techmen17]

That looks really good!

So is this a shop that specifically works on Yotas? Or just a custom fab shop?
Been looking for someone local that can do some good weld work

Custom fab shop. Definitely worth checking out. Some of the best work I've seen. He's good at paying attention to aesthetics while also making sure that everything is strong enough to be functional.

So, here's a PS of the black skid. I think I am gonna go ahead and black it out. Will be a lot more unique. Threw a few lights up top to get an idea of how that will look too.

I'm not a fan of tube bumpers but, DAYUMM that thing is nice!
Keep the skid silver, it's a nice contrast

 

[Clemsonfan15]

Plasti Dip it to see what it would look like. If you don't like it you can peel it off.

Someone's using their noggin!

 

[GottaBeTRD]

yeah X2 on that looking bad ass! im not a huge fan of the tube bumpers either but that looks so mean! I'd say black it out too but thats only cause my runner is all black too

BTW Ive been planning some more aux lights out too and i absolutly love the ION Crystal colored lights but dont they all produce the yellow light therfore not really giving out more light while on the trails?

 

[tmaxx13]

wow that bumper looks great, is the company that you got that from out of oregon? I would like to get one like that!

 

[Hepar]

That sir is indeed looking MEAN. I kinda like the silver. Adds some nice contrast to the black.
