Rear Sport Bumper Mounted On The Front
I have a spare rear sport bumper, and was thinking it might look alright mounted on the front. It is 1 1/2" less in height, which appears would reveal the panel under the grille a lot more & has a recessed licence plate.
Has anyone already done this, anyone have a pic, anyone have thoughts on this mod... |

Thoughts? Just because you can doesnt mean you should.

Re: Rear Sport Bumper Mounted On The Front
Perhaps I could take that bumper off your hands? It might go good with your old box.

Re: Rear Sport Bumper Mounted On The Front
Wouldn't a van front bumper like off a c20 van be about the same thing? Would the holes line up? If so there ya go!

Truck made its maiden voyage through the parkinglot today. Shortened frame, 4/6 drop, and all poly bushings. Still needs more work. Engine comes out in Sept.
