Re-did my bumper last weekend, figured I would show new pics.

 

Great pics! I didn't know expanded metal could look that good! I admire the welded on tie down hooks. Did you decide not to do the front winch mount? BTW, where did you get that grille badge with cummins C in it?

 

Nice bumpers! The one with the spikes looks cool, but yeah,I could see stabbing myself during routine maintainance. Maybe make them out of a plastic overlay or something to reduce the liability. I'm still running the stock bumper with a cheap clamp-on grill guard that was on it when I bought the truck. The clamp bolts were loose and seized on the nuts, letting the guard rattle around on the front of the bumper. Welded that solid, then added a couple bars made from old semi tierods to reinforce the lower portion. Knock on wood, haven't tested it yet, don't plan it anytime soon.
