    Orion - that looks great. That bumper should really be complimented with more wheel offset though

    Also, be careful, those will add a lot of rotational mass & unsprung weight...

    Yeah, good point. I think he should just swap in the front diff and a-arms from a full size Chevy instead. Widetrack and better strength and better braking... then he could use a dually rear axle to match too!

    True enough! There you have it, Orion needs Rockwells! And he shouldn't have any acceleration issues with that extra weight bcuz he performed the electric fan upgrade that adds more throttle response!

    Rear bumpers done ! now i know its not the prettiest thing, but this end needed to be more functional. and having been almost rear ended twice this winter i wanted a little more beef back there ( wow, that sounds dirty )




    And i finally got the lower bumper mounted up front. i still need to install fog lights in the old turn signal holes.
