Typically not a fan of chrome bumpers, but with your truck being a darker color and the chrome muscle grill, it looks good. Nice job!

Over my shoulder my wife looked at the screen and said "That's pretty". Good job!

Great job. Is it DOM or seam welded tube? What is the wall thickness?

This is the best front bumper I have seen. It looks nice on your truck.

I'm not much of a fan of tube bumpers, but that looks really nice. It helps my attitude knowing that you built it, rather than opening a box and bolting it on. Well done. :)

They both look very nice.

Not being critical as I don't know your intended use, but does that rear receiver hitch anchor to anything besides the tubes?

Souix Plating in South Souix City, NE chromed it. There not cheap but did a nice job. Figuring Nothing for my labor, the materials and plating cost about the same as buying one. But no one sells a chrome one.

Haven't done it yet but plan on putting a couple of straps, maybe 2" X 3/8 from the back of the receiver to the frame.

Hi, I really like that tube bumper you built for your J10!! Could I please see photos of it again? I can't seem to get to them anymore.
Thanks!
