New Rear Bumper
Axle:
Very nice, Scott. It looks great on there, Jeremy. ;)
Sandbox Sailor:
Sweet bumper, but to be honest, I have never been a fan of a swing-away on a pick-up, but that is just my preference. Looks preetty good though.

We had a lot of fun building it. It went fast though because he had the time to be at the shop for 10 days straight for at least 3-5 hours. I'm not against doing another as we would employ a few more things that we may have done different on the next one but if I have to do it all myself, its going to take a while! All in all, I think Jeremy has about $400 into all the steel, wire and gas for the welder, hinge and bearing assembly, the receiver itself, misc. hardware, and the 3 cases of Sam Adams for the fantastic powdercoating (which is NOT always going to be available) we got hooked up with. That's not counting the 50+ hours of time alone.
HOT-ROD:
you,
jeremy,
50 hours and 3 cases of beer,
that is just gross.
(i just puked in my mouth)

Are you advocating for buying aftermarket? And that the perk to doing it yourself is the feeling of accomplishment? I'm not sure running cost on Taco bumpers. I know for jeeps, to get all that is about 650.
