Lookin fine! pics are sideways though. It’s a bit challenging on the eyes.

Happy with the weight? I find on of the challenge with making bumpers is keeping the weight and approach angles in a happy range.

The weight feels awesome I'm hoping it helps keep the front end down and give the truck a more weighted look when crawling I wanna see the tires folding lol,but as far as angles go I just literally made it like the oem one making the framing the same contour then just adding sheet metal, I like the oem one just to light, and I'm also going to add a stringer instead of a hoop bar or what ever you wanna call it.

Nice bumper. I went with a simpler design, and even that was pain, but fun still.
