It will get you a little more clearance at the corners and then you can trim off the fender fangs on the front.

PLAN B
This build was 2 parts 1 i have a truck I made to pretty to wheel so I'm building an ugly one I can actually enjoy.
And 2. My cousin has been trying to join us for blazer bash but his truck wont be ready so we are surprising him with this one
It's coming together nicely. Gives me some ideas for when I clearance for my 40's here soon.
just ditch the bumpers and sell them, not worth keeping them on IMO.
No you do not have to. Tow points work better then a stock bumper.
Why need? Your truck isn't going to fall apart without one.
However they will protect sheet metal & hold a winch.
I guess they dont do safety inspections here anymore... i just need a place to hang my plates. Remember i have to drive this places. I was looking at it from a i dont want to kill anyone or get pulled over standpoint
And with how rusty this thing is if i take metal off i do worry about it falling apart

I was just thinking about it, i think ck5 changed me. 4 years ago i would have NEVER cut up a vehicle. I was hard core make it pretty and treat it nicely. Now im looking for more metal to cut off lol
I really cant wait to see where this ends up.

I would run something on the front if you plan on road tripping it. I imagine 98% of police officers are going to find that unacceptable.
I think that a stock bumper, trimmed, is better to use for the braille moments, than just the sheetmetal.
I am planning on using mine until I get something with better protection.
And I agree that CK5 can change us!

Any of you have first hand experience with a spray or roll on bedliner?
Im wondering what would give me a really nice heavy texture

I know the herculiner stuff has some good texture to it. Not sure I'd trust it as an actual bedliner just cuz most diy ones are not very thick but it worked real good inside my enclosed service truck I used to have.
Im looking for something for the rockers (lower 12") of this truck to cover some ugly.
Another question,
I have the diy4x steering box brace but looking at the truck i cant see how it would fit on there, this truck has a cooler hooked to the power steering and it looks like the lines get in the way, anyone else running a steering brace on a vehicle with the steering cooler?

The issue is when you put that stuff on and you hit a rock, you will, it peels off and you have nothing. Embrace the ugly and use a spray can to make it better.
Yep embrace the ugly. Ignore body damage. The ugly will become awesome
If it's cooler lines they're low pressure and easy to extend/move out of the way.
Ok, i will look at moving them,
Im looking at 40s and i DO NOT want to run 40s without a steering brace
And if you do move the lines, a better cooler would help the steering pump last longer.
I rolled the lower portion of mine initially and now I just touch it up with spray liner. I used duplicolors kit and for the most part its held up for about 15 years now.
