And I am not putting anouther back on.



But i got thses off and they are notched perfect for the truck so I assume that someone might want them to mount a bumper.

If anyone does you can have them, just pm me.

Just picture it a year from now with a catback sticking out the back end.

wow chevy stole corvette styling from the fd and now we can all see where they got some of their truck styling when they incorporate the "corvette" lights into the rollpan.

Yep. The Chevy Luv had a similar idea, but the REPU looks cooler with both lights (on each side) a solid red.



You'll notice the truck will sit higher after the bumper is removed. That-is if the bumper was heavy. Some are heavier than others.

Looks better like that IMO.My B2200 is losing the bumper soon and I plan to run 2 square tips out where the factory bumper mounts go.

I'm keeping the bumpers on both my trucks for towing, for now. I may have at least one switched over to a square hitch reciever someday. It seems some trailer rental places frown on bumper-mount tow ***** for some reason.

That bumper that was on there Jeff was pretty light. It really was a piece of junk. Maybe 20lpds??



Any way does anyone know if those brackets I posted above are something that somone could use or are they pretty much junk,.

My red truck's bumper is probably the heaviest duty REPU bumper I've seen. The white truck's bumper is definitely thinner.
