Perhaps on the horizontal bar you could create an oval in the middle so that you don't cut across the emblem. Just a different idea for you to chew over.

I was thinking large diamond. Attach the top and bottom to short verticle bars. something like this for the middle bar...

--<>--

Then maybe with vertical bars from the other corners


(Please excuse the ****ty picture, its off my phone lol, best I could do)

Love the bumper! On the grill guard ideas, since the bumper follows the truck lines so close, why not try 2 wide horizontal bars like the grill? Just a thought

Just another quick thought that you most likely though of already, with the hoop when you open the hood will the grille clear the top of the hoop. Of course with the grille going up to and on an angle i figure the bottom of the grille kicks out on the way up. I love the look though.

Did a little designing today.

I'm kind of digging this one. I think I'll make this one next.

Hope you like the renderings.

Ding ding ding!! We've got a winner! Those latest drawings are the ones for me, it looks awesome! Not overdone, but just that little extra protection it needs. Only thing I might change is I would do away with the provision to keep that big plastic valence under the front bumper. Don't see many people actually putting that thing on with a replacement front bumper of this style.

I also laid the hoop back 3°.

It's hard to see in the photos of the real truck, but hoop being vertical and the grill being tilted back as it is bothered me. So I matched them.

The bottom of the bumper is even with the bottom of the frame and the 'provision' for the valance is some tapped holes. Leave it off if you want, but I think it's supposed to get better MPG with it on there.

Ok, well I figured if ask incase it was a lot of extra work to make that valence fit on. You've made it easy enough so if people do, or don't, want to use it they can do as they choose.

I love the way the headlight guards wrap around but I'm not a fan of the horizontal bars it takes away from how clean it looks.

Post #26 has renderings for them all. I think the ones w/o grill and headlight protection look best, they look factory.

i saw the rendering but i would like to see it on an actual truck

Also why not just take the grill off and make your bumper and grill take up that space LOL would look clean like that
