If you only want to spend $500 or less, you'll be makin' it yourself. Part of the reason they cost so much is the fact that the steel alone to build them is almost half the cost... and the fact that they have put the effort into designing them, and building the jig to make them.

That's my plan, make my own, based on what I like from others I've seen, ranch hand, road armor, etc. I also plan to make a jig, as I have 3 of these trucks, and my buddy has 2 as well... so making patterns for all the peices will make sense. But all this is taking a 'back burner' to the current issues, like buying a new house and moving ASAP. Hopefully the new house will have a nice garage in which to work and do such projects.

Good luck with the bumper issue, maybe you could find a used one for a reasonable price... check craigs list for your area.

Im so lucky my truck had mine installed, they arent cheap thats for sure.

Search your local craigslist for used front end replacements. Attempting to get one for $500 even used is a longshot though. Off brands that have been discontinued may be the way to go, my first grille guard was modified to fit my truck, and it was $1100 plus the Rhino Lining. The one I have on it now that is high end, and it ran $1800 new before having it lined.

Best of luck in your search!

i got an arb thats got a little bend in it, i was going to bend back myself and paint or powder coat, just dont have the time. I'll put a pic up when i get home. i'd let it go for 350 if you paid shipping.... form Denver.

[carpman15]

whats it weigh? would be help for figuring out shipping also cant wait for pics

[jkhickcox]

my guess is about 120 to 140.

like i said, it's a little rough but if you mount it on your truck and bend it in the right direction, new paint its good to go

ok truck certainly isnt a show truck but still like things to look good lol but send pics when you can
