Those are not huge issues for me. I would order it bare and have my own guys finish it. I waited for my wheels 12 weeks and now it's 16 weeks and I am still waiting for my spare, wheel #5 that was damaged en route.


Any issues with build quality or fitment?

Ive heard some people say there welds weren't the best, mine are fine :shrug: Fitment was great on mine, it fits the body lines so well!

Have you given your welds a close look? The biggest thing with them I hear is they tend to hide sh!tty welding under silicone caulking.

Since I would order it bare, any weld issues would be obvious. I would have my neighbor look over it before line-x'ing it. He's been a welder for about 15 years, repairing all kinds of CAT equipment.

BadBowtie - can you send me some other photos of your bumper and front end? I tried to PM you but your inbox is full.

You happen to know what year this bumper came stock on the Chevy trucks, I have been searching & can't find it anywhere. I'd like to replace my rounded stock 97' bumper with one if it's a direct swap & I can still use my hitch. I was gonna do a fabbed bumper but one of these with a little reinforcement, d-loops & bedliner would be perfect for what I want.

I followed one of your threads on another forum that showed your progress on these bumpers as you made them and I am impressed with how they look and proportion on your truck. Did you happen to save the cardboard templates? I'd love to have a front bumper similar to that on my 2 door.
