Cowboy bumpers
So I've been toying around with different ideas for a front bumper, and came up with these three. What do y'all like best? I like the last one best personally, but I think the first one would look good without the lights. I don't know.

Re: Cowboy bumpers
If I had to choice I would go with the last one just me though.

The first one, but put the lights in the bumper.

Re: Cowboy bumpers
I like the second one if that white part was gray too.
What are the slots in the third one? Posted via Mobile Device

Re: Cowboy bumpers
Are you making provisions for a winch?

Re: Cowboy bumpers
No, no winch provisions. I'm gonna do a rear winch if I ever get one. The slots aren't really for anything, I just kinda liked the way they looked. I don't like the look of rounds in the bumper, but I'll draw it up with some rectangle fogs or something after school today. Thanks for the opinions guys

Re: Cowboy bumpers
Oh, I really like that grill guard
 Don't really like the center lights though...I'm gonna see what I can do with that. Thanks for the input man.

Re: Cowboy bumpers
What I like about mine, is that it gives me somewhere to stand while I work under the hood, which can be a little tricky on a lifted truck.

Re: Cowboy bumpers
Alright, this is what I ended up with after moving things around for awhile. Opinions? The smaller part of the grill guard is 1x right now, thinking about changing it to 2x...Just looks kinda weird.

Re: Cowboy bumpers
This is a custom one done by the PO of my truck, if it gives you any ideas:
 - welded hollow bars - platform for standing, ~1' wide - 3/8" thick steel all around - receiver hitch behind license plate - winch compatible - mounted turn signals |

Re: Cowboy bumpers
Looks really tough, too big and bulky for me though. I want something clean and mean looking.

Re: Cowboy bumpers
Front looks good but that rear is sweet looking! I'd love to put something like that on a newer truck when I get one.

Re: Cowboy bumpers
i know a buisness that make these bumpers they look great for old style trucks but very pricey.I really likw the one andrew put i would do that one but the one you have looks good to im just not a fan of the big square in the middle maybe you should put lights in the actual bumper.
