I built my own on my '03 1500HD. I never had to "use" them, but I liked the way they looked.

If you want to build a custom bumper, it is actually pretty easy on these trucks. Mine is a Chevy 1500HD for reference. I added a little bracing to the end of the frame, and I took a section out of the grill. I 36" wide jeep winch plate bolts right on top of the frame rails, and you just...

Here's my 2003 1500HD. Leveling kit, 285/70/17 Hankook ATs, H2 wheels, homemade front bumper, skid and sliders.

Looks like you guys had a great time. Thanks for sharing some great pictures of awesome scenery. I also enjoyed seeing some full size trucks getting used. I do have a question. What type of compressor did you use for airing up? I have a Campbell Hausfield 12volt one, and it just doesn't cut it.

My buddy Dave and I ran into you and Mario on Hole-in-the-Rock Rd. as we were heading back to Escalante. Your rigs looked really well thought out and very capable. Great pictures, and it is neat to see that we visited some of the same places. Here is a picture of our vehicles on the trip.

more inspiration for you. Here's how I used to roll back in the day....still miss this rig. !996 ZJ, 4.0L with 242 case, custom long arms with about 5 inches of lift, custom bumpers, custom rockers, 33x12.50 swampers.

I'm not sure yet about how the rails will perform offroad. I finished them a couple of weeks ago and I haven't had a chance to test them. I have some clearance from the body so hopefully it won't be an issue.

....just for reference, I recently built some for my 1500HD with a similar design as the Toyota guys.

Bumper is done!

I did a little more work on the bumper last night that I believe addresses the "large gap between the bumper and the headlights" comment. I am not too worried about the tow hooks affecting approach angle. I have a lot better approach than factory, but with the wheelbase being stupid long I...

couple of update pictures...

Sweet Dodge! I worked a little more last night on the bumper. I am pretty much done, but the paint was drying so no installed pictures yet. I am not concerned about any gas mileage impacts....it's a 6.0L crew cab. Gas mileage was not too high on my priority list! I do still want to add a...

I started working on a winch bumper this weekend. I wasn't interesting in the big plate style bumpers. I wanted a prerunner / tube style. The stock bumper came off easy enough, 6 bolts and some clips holding on some shrouds. My old winch plate from the jeep fit perfectly on top of the frame...
