What bumper? The stock support he took the cover off of?

Yep, the cover sucks and hangs down to the ground. Seeing trucks with and without, it's pretty dramatic

Few shots from the driver's seat this weekend

Long way home from MIL's at the daughters request. We dropped though the ice on the creek crossing and she was done with the "offroading". Failed to think about pics then but truck pulled right out once 4x4 was engaged.

Main roads were not much better this weekend.

Apparently the ice I fell through in the creek was pretty deep and ripped my exhaust tip off. Oops
