What do you think?

I could not decide on a roll pan or rear bumper, I really didn't like the bumper being wider than the fenders...Roll Bumper

Re: What do you think?

Needs some kind of rounded sides to it and a pic of it from the back like the full bumper pic but definatley a step in the right direction!!

I agree you are on the right track! Maybe graft the ends of the bumper back on to the narrowed bumper.

I like the cut down bumper look. The metric Malibu wagon bumpers have always looked cool in my opinion. They get you a bumper and light in one package. They would look even better narrowed to fit.

Re: What do you think?

That smooth tailgate and hiden taillights are screaming for a roll pan imo.

Maybe the pic is hard to see but the ends of the bumper are closed in like a roll pan with 16ga steel however they do not attach to the bumper and the bumper edge is rounded. The truck is in the paint shop now and the metal that caps the bumper ends will be the same color as the truck
