Went hunting for ten days north of Bridgeport for deer in bow season. Turns out were better with a rifle or beer than hitting the broad side of a barn with an arrow... Got a couple big snowshoe wabbits though and my on board shower was a godsend after day two.

I got a question for you . . . Do you notice any type of visible shaking from your All-Pro bumper? I have the same one and every time I drive I notice it moving more than it probably should.

YES. Mostly when I'm going fast down trails. I've also got a he'll of a time with it rubbing my fiberglass fenders- I crammed a thick piece of rubber between the fender and bumper and it quiets down but always manages to wiggle itself out before long.

The amount of shaking bothers me- don't know whether it's the bumper or my frame that's flexing that much to move independently of the truck... I do know it's one heavy bastard though plenty of weight to act as leverage.

The corners of my bumper rub against my fenders as well and the shaking has rubbed the paint off and started to rust a bit. I did have a run in with a BMW in the past and thought the accident may have bent something, but that isn't the case. I took the bumper off and everything looked fine. I'm looking at alternative bumpers later on down the road that are more secure.

I love this truck.

Also broke both tail lights and chewed into the rear quarter panels and the bumper is all but toast now but damnit I got up that mountain and it was worth every dent.
High clearance rear coming soon. :)

that photo looks like a chop with the background the way it is... LOL great look'n truck!
