Installed a Westin HDX grille guard I picked up off Craigslist for $300. I was going to buy one anyway, so it was nice to avoid paying full price.

Thanks guys,
2001 7.3 4X4 short bed 156K. Fiberglass fenders and bedsides (fiberwerx), Full length slider drawers in bed (no Pics, I'll get some) Built transmission with billet torque converter, 39" BFG BAJA TA KR "Projects" on 17" KMC beadlocks, 4" Icon Lift in front, stock height in back on Bilsteins, Truck roof rack is off a Humvee turned sideways and the camper one I built. Other things I built: the rear bumper in 4130 chromoly with integrated tow hitch behind the license plate, the lightbar with 5 Hella Rallye 4000 lights, Customized the stock front bumper. Dieselsite.com chip, Egt/trans/boost gauges, straight exhaust, trans cooler, wickedwheel2, 4000watt Inverter, just rebuilt the rear end, complete break job, bearings and seals on all 4 along with all new Mooge steering ball joints etc, new Interstate batteries, alt, starter... Putting 24" Linear Actuators in the bed to lift the camper in a few weeks.
FYI I will be selling the bed complete take off with everything included (bumper as well) in a couple months, Along with the complete front clip (Sans hellas) as well as the roof rack. I will be selling both axles and lift as well. (2008 Axles/ Carli/King coilover suspension, custom flatbed and slide on camper coming soon. Time to step it up a few notches
Without Cap on 37"s and Current Wrap, site is down at the moment.

Love the truck! Question on your rear bumper, why did you op to slope down toward the axle instead of wrapping straight around? I'm interested in building a similar bumper for the excursion.

Thanks Boog, Digging your X as well! Looks like we are on the same suspension paths... I wanted the tow hitch to be really stout so the lower tube goes under to box it in. Ill snap some shots so you can see, had to chop a little off the frame to make it snug.

Wish i could have gotten better angles, Piggy does not want to start in the "cold" 35f, I guess Interstate batteries are not what they used to be Time to track down some higher cranking amp batteries and check my glow plugs... ugh
I cut my stock tow hitch, welded it between the frame rails and then built the tube bumper around that. License plate is on a square tube frame that slides into the receiver, and holds in with the receiver pin.
