41chevy Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Truck looks good, still needs something LEDs on the bottom of the bumper maybe.Jim, I believe when the temps go below 45 the state goes into shut down.

Green Dash Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 That bumper looks fantastic! Most of the aftermarket chrome/stainless bumpers for the aero type trucks are actually uglier than the OEM, IMO. Anywho, it just looks right on there. 2 Quote Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post other dog Posted February 15, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted February 15, 2015 Another ladder idea- hire the hotdog girl to be your assistant and train her to run a knuckle boom, then she can do all the climbing. All you have to do is pretend like you have to hold the ladder while she's climbing. 4 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.
