I'd say the fitment is as good as whoever does the welding. I thought about these for awhile but can't seem to get sold on the newer style bumpers like this and Iron Cross.
That said, the classic rear and classic 2.5 prerunner front look pretty nice!
Post pics please if you do this.

Looks good. How do you like that Millermatic 211? Just bought one.

I would like it a lot!
But not mine. Just remembered reading the thread and thought Id pass it along.

I think thats the miller multimatic 215, which has mig and scratch start tig. The millermatic 211 however is a phenomenal piece of equipment, I purchased one to replace my hobart 140 when I did my SOA w/ cut and turn on my fj60, and I cannot say enough good things about the 211. These move bumpers look pretty good, my concern would be the 3/16". I always use 1/4" for the winch plate then 3/16 for the wings, but the entire thing made of 3/16" could be a little underbuilt, especially for such a large/heavy vehicle. I still think ujoint's bumper is the best looking one out there for a ford van, excited to see the '08+ bumper.

Thanks guys for the replies, and the link. I'm gonna call them Monday and get the front and rear ordered. Ordered my Fiberglass and 6" kit from Jeremy @Weldtec today. Scheduled 10 days off mid-October for a Thrash, to be Ready for the Baja 1000. Build Thread starting in a few weeks. Totally Stoked !!

Curious if you got the bumpers. I've been thinking of this for a while as a way of making a bumper and then fabricating a rear tire mount as part of the process.
Keep us up to date.

I looked at these for my 3rd gen Dodge- But after some reviews, I decided to go a different direction. These are a great affordable option to change the look of your rig, but if you really start to use them they don't hold up.

I just wish there was an easy DIY option for dual swing-outs as well. My rig came with Iron Cross bumpers front and rear. Looks like the Aluminess swing outs which bolt to the frame and go around the stock bumper won't work with most of these aftermarket options. They sit too high to the doors to clear or fit as manufactured.
Selling a perfectly good bumper and then paying $2500 + Shipping is a tough pill to swallow.
