Buckstop bumpers are here!

Santa has arrived a bit early and he was driving an 18 wheeler (Cummins powered of course)!

He dropped of a couple of bumpers from http://www.buckstop.biz . I'm very impressed with the quality and strength of them. Shipping weight was 350 lbs for the two of them. No more replacing tin foil bumpers for me

. I've put some pictures of them inside and out including brackets in this album - http://www.turbodieselregister.com/u...p?&albumid=538 . I got them unpainted because I wanted to paint match them to the rockers on my truck and add some bolts to attach grill mesh to the bumper openings.

Coming soon . . . . CMNSPWR II!

The pile of parts is starting to grow here: 2.5" Skyjacker front springs, color matched grill (going to install the stainless grill inserts that I have now in it - truck has a chrome grill right now), and a wheel well liner. On it's way are lights for the front and rear, and a replacement headlamp assy. I can't wait to see what it's going to look like - big change.

more pics . . . . .
