This is about the best pic I could find that the wife has taken. I'll get another one tomorrow. But it's 1/4 inch steel and weighs about 90 to 100 pounds. Just a standard farm truck bumper though, but I've got my *ss covered. Been practicing with my welder still, eventually I'll have a tube bumper. I always have thought that they looked the best and if you build em right, worked the best. Some people put air in theirs, I haven't decided if that's something I want to do yet.
Edit: the pic was taken while I was painting the truck.

we might put air in mine.its mostly mud around here so the valve would prolly be packed with mud and I am a fan of having air in my tires when in the mud. i've never seen how airing down helps in the mud?tall skinny better that throwing mud just for fun.i had 40's on another truck and would through another 10 lbs in my tires before i went and i followed 44's NO problem.
maybe it was just me but after hundreds of times it always worked.
Nice "hood ornament" (poop head) Bumper looks good too.

Was that comment directed towards me? Just wondering... let me know if it was, or else I'm just lost in the conversation, all the words too confusing... no offense taken
tube bumpers rock... I got a pair of them for free from a old member here.. he is never on anymore... Panther..... they were for a fullsize blazer.. but fit on my pickup.... free is soo nice
he even gave me a 2wd gearbox... hence making my xover easier
anyways.. I modded my rear one... will do the same on the front once I get a front winch.. that aint gonna be for a few more years!!!!!
