Anyways i have been looking at Badland bumpers what do you think? too spendy or can i find something just as good somewhere else? Cuz i really dont like how much they are lol.. But Let me know of some good bumpers i dont think my truck can handle geting punched in the nose again!

A treated 4x8 if your feeling rich, otherwise a $10 railroad tie will really bring out the redneck in those antennas

WHITE TRASH1 · Sep 20, 2008

Those antenae's aren't redneck. They are ****ing retarded.

If you had to fab a bunch of shiat to make the grille fit you should have started with a fresh core support.

how do the scratches on your welding hood treat ya? i would definitly not leave my hood laying on the gravel driveway, specially not with the lense down

Maybe a before pic would show the amount of work you've put into making it look like a truck again and people will stop picking at stupid little details and appreciate the work you did. I would personally put the stock bumper back on it and maybe build a brush guard to protect it. Looks like your front crossmember is tweaked and thats where most aftermarket bumpers are going to attatch, so it would be a pain to even make an expensive one work. If you need a straight stocker PM me I've got one. Otherwise just start layin tube on it one piece at a time.

Looks hood Hunter.:awesomework:

Trying to get a rig thats bent looking straight again is a real challenge. As you say, it's not just a matter of bolting sheetmetal on: you have to tweek every part.

It works pretty good actually i was letting your mom wear it when i was teaching her to weld the other night:fawkdancesmiley:
Actually that is my old hood i bought a new one. That one i was letting my buddy use while he was helping me hold stuff in place while i tacked things together but thanks for the tip!

Ya i just might mail ya for that, the old one is all bent up... I dont think im going to go with another brush guard again granted it saved my truck alot but i think im going to need something bigger this time just incase lol.
what do you think is the best place to get a tube bender? i know harbor frieght has one but its probally garbage.

nighthunter · Sep 21, 2008

Thanks TigTorch it was a challenge but it was fun. i enjoyed puting somthing i love back together again and try to make it look normal as possible.
Do you think a allignment would fix the stearing on it what i mean is the stearing wheel has to be turned litterally half way to go straight?

now post a fullsize pic of the chick in your avatar. K thanks bye

Ok---enough BS guys

An alignment will definitely get your steering wheel straight.

Have a close look to see if you can spot anything thats bent on the A-arms or steering linkage. Other than that take it to a good alignment shop and they'll fix you up. I have always had good luck with Bear Alignment in Everett. They're not the cheapest though.
