thanks man.

it took around 3 days or so,(including gathering of the materials) its the first rear bumper that i have built so im sure i could do it faster.

yes, i drive it to and from the trail so it has to be somewhat legal

i actually welded a license plate bracket to a hitch, and then just slid it into my receiver. (can add the light also)

The approach angle on our trucks is good, the departure angle isn't. Logic would dictate that the rear bumper should come before the front, unless a) you have a winch, b) its for looks.
well mine is not for looks! although i will admit it "looks" good

regardless which one you do first, having one crappy stock bumper, and one custom bumper, is better than having both crappy stock bumpers.
