I do know that they sand blast before they powder coat. what i don't know is if they got lazy on the prep of if the powder coat itself had something wrong with it. really it's hard to say if they screwed up or if powder was bad or maybe something happened that it didn't get baked long enough. i know that i don't really what to take a chance of it happening to me.

if you find it let me know what is is and where i can purchase it at or from.

The welds are as strong as their gonna get, structural areas were pre-heated with a torch, and tripple passed .

I havn't hit an elk yet, will have to wait for that. hold up to a Tacoma pulling out in front of me in an intersection though....

Very nice. Good job. I got a deer right after I got the truck. Bout $5,000 worth of damage. Sucks cause I had a 96 ram 1500 with a brush guard and always wanted to hit something with it.
