you have no idea how bad it is... I'm used to metal bumper brackets... everything is plastic. stock bumper for this thing weighs in @ 10lbs! the stock bumper for a 96 bronco (the lightest of them all) was still over 60lbs!

 

I'm almost tempted to take my brother's advice and let him take it down to school for the work :( since this was his idea to start with. college engineering students LOVE messing with stuff like this. they modded an escape to be able to survive (and drive away after) a 25' drop for the hoist @ U of D's engineering shop... but that would ruin MY fun and MY headaches on this one :smack:

3rd one. dfeinitely. the 4th is nice but its not angular and devoid of everything that smooth bling is about like the 3rd one is. the 3rd one is brutish, not shiny, industrial looking and everythign that the camo escalade is going to be about. it might actually match the angular shape of the truck intself!! and the bumpers? i'm assuming youre going to get a few 4" steel tubes and weld yourself a nice double bumper? i'd jus thang it in front of the stock one......"RAMMING SPEED!"....and on behind the rear one....

 

oh yeah! whip antennas...all sorts of those too!...and dont forget the naked lady mudflaps...and various red-neck window decals in the back like "fight crime, shoot back" or various #3's and #8's...and some "Bass Pro Shops" stickers. yeah that's the ticket.....
