MrsSpoolin 02-01-2005, 11:05 PM Yahoo doesn't like you linking pictures from them. It'll always show up as red x's.
Duramax Dually 02-01-2005, 11:10 PM Sorry folks, only have Yahoo....have no other site to link URL. Wish you could just upload image from computer like the old days....
_nar_ 02-02-2005, 12:12 AM You should be able to, click go advanced just scroll down a bit and click manage attachments. Go find picture on your computer, then click upload. How about this bumper.. Not sure what brand it is.. Looks nice though.

Trippin 02-02-2005, 01:01 AM Very Nice!
_nar_ 02-02-2005, 01:17 AM Color matched looks sweet.
WAskier 02-02-2005, 02:47 AM That's a nice looking bumper!
What are those four holes for on the pass side of the front of the bumper? Liscense plate mount or something?
Diesel Power 02-02-2005, 03:16 AM very nice indeed!
Hired Gun 02-02-2005, 08:44 AM Holy crap. I like!!!!
Fingers 02-02-2005, 09:08 AM One of the cleanest winch bumpers i've seen. Much better than the diamond plate bumpers. The color helps make the bumper look like it belongs too.
Duramax Dually 02-02-2005, 09:20 AM Thanks for the kind words everybody. It turned out very nice. The 4 holes are for the Calif license plate(or for something else none identification related ):h ) So far the additional weight on the nose is not detectable when driving. Originally some of my concerns was hanging nearly 250lbs off the nose. I did learn something while they installed the set up, there is a frame difference between the 2500HD and 3500's. I was always under the impression it was the same platform and the extra tires out back and some sorted other items made them different. Not true. They had a 02 2500 and my 01 side by side and they are noticeably different. The 3500 has a entire different frame clip nearing the front. This caught Reunel off guard as they also were under the impression they were the same and had 2500HD brackets all pre fab'd and they would not work. They had to fabricate an entire new mounting system while I was there. Made the install a couple of hours longer.
The 2500HD that was there was getting a completely polished SST bumper, similiar to my design, installed. That also looked exceptionally nice. Quality welding.
Prices for the set up vary depending on special additional features you want. They all include installation(if you want to drive and have them do it) and paint match to your truck in the price. Mine was right at $2K less Warn M15000 winch.

UncleFester 02-03-2005, 01:13 AM WOW! That does look nice.!
BassinRVer 02-04-2005, 08:05 AM I may want to look at getting my front end bumper painted to match too. Your truck looks sweet, Duramax Dually. Make sure you take before and after pictures of your rake before you put on the Cognito leveling kit. Make sure your truck is on level ground when you take them.
Duramax Dually 02-04-2005, 12:58 PM BassinRV,
Will do. Will be down at Cognito next Friday for install. We are installing the HD leveling kit, Dual Shock Kit, Steering upgrade kit, 6 New Bilsteins and the subsequent alignment.. Justin and I are going to take pics for his website. I will post.
So far all has been excellent with the extra bumper weight on the nose. I have had the T Bars cranked for about 30K miles. The steering feels a bit heavier but look forward to the Dual Shot kit.
TEXMudder 02-04-2005, 02:00 PM Any more pics of the GMC bumper out there? I tried to look at their website, but that was the worst unupdated site I have seen in a long time. They wont be winning customers with that. I like that in the picture above it appears as if the uprights are not straight up and looks like they may follow the lines in the grill. This would be the first one I have seen like this.
Rich H. 02-04-2005, 05:02 PM Duramax Dually,
Looks Great, out standing with the matched paint job.
Duramax Dually 02-04-2005, 05:17 PM TexMudder,
Yes they follow the lines of the grill and upright bars head outward. I saw one and they look awesome.
Yes the site needs some help, That is for sure.
Rich H:, Thanks for compliment, they really did nice work.
