keep roll pan or sport bumper

I'm kind of tired of looking at my roll pan, it looks weird to me so I'm thinking about adding a sport bumper should I do it

Re: keep roll pan or sport bumper

I'm not big on roll pans in most cases. Since your truck is a custom, I think it goes well.

Re: keep roll pan or sport bumper

I agree with Ken... for a stock looking truck I would run the sport bumper but for a custom truck the roll pan works.

Re: keep roll pan or sport bumper

Well, I'm kinda torn here. I don't mind the look of a roll pan, but I really don't like the Lund style roll pan you have. I'm thinking that is the reason it looks "weird" to you as well.

My vote would be for a sport bumper first, and second a different roll pan that is straight across the bottom.

I like the roll pan. The bumper wouldn't be right with your truck.

Re: keep roll pan or sport bumper

I've had both. Currently running a rollpan. I'm going back to the sport bumper. However, in your case, the rollpan looks great, IMHO.

Re: keep roll pan or sport bumper

roll pan brother.. looks better on yoru truck...
if you are that eager why not blend and fill the line between the roll pan and the bed corners?........
just an idea..
p.s. that's one of the sexiest trucks ive seen BUILT by a 19 yr old..
they are usually BOUGHT.. buy a 19 yr old's parents..

I agree with most of the others. I like the sport bumper more than roll pans, but on your truck with the custom paint and all the roll pan will look better.

Re: keep roll pan or sport bumper

I like both (bumpers and rollpans) - I would keep the rollpan - I got a different style of rollpan on my truck - it looks more "straight", - I mean it`s not going down to the licence plate and going up again ??!
er, - I hope you get what I`m trying to explain ??

I prefer the sport bumper. Not too big on roll pans. Good Luck.

Re: keep roll pan or sport bumper

I think that the roll pans that go straight across that don't have the dip for the license plate look good.

I'm a fan of the sport bumper but like most the roll pan works with yours. Just a thought, not for sure how it would look but have you though about a painted front bumper?

I don't think a sport bumper would look right with your paint job.
