Message from Tyler upset about my new chrome bumpers from the recent P-300 article (I like them because I think it will keep me from getting pulled over in Beverly Hills again and they are light. The steel we used was like 3/8-inch thick or more that was thicker than the frame!):
"You must be getting soft? What happened to the days of custom bumpers made from steel and welded to the truck and then coated with a sweet American flag paint job?"
(We got this Bronco from our friend Willy for $200. Then we put a 2-inch body lift, 35 inch Baja claws, and custom bumper. Then we beat the crap out of it. This thing was jumped, mudded and served as a tank for paintball. We had a 78 Bronco too that we got from his grandpa's unofficial junkyard. We spent hours wrenching. The good old days. This might have been 10 years ago. )
