    Death of a Bumper

    They did good from the bumper up, unfortunately they did nothing from the bumper down, so both corners of the clip are bent in, the passenger side much more than the dirvers side, you can tell by the brush guard and the head light ring won't fit due to the deformation. Just something else to...

    Death of a Bumper

    The railroad iron and the pipe and the 3/4 inch platform must weigh in at 3-400 lbs. The front end looks about the same level, but it is rated at 11/4tons so the springs are pretty stiff anyway. And yes the OK Forestry Dept. compound has a wall around the 4-5 acre holding area made of Gamma...

    Death of a Bumper

    Found time to work on the VFD monster bumper that was added to the M715/6217 I won in the Oklahoma Forestry Commission auction a few months ago. The firemen who built the bumper were at the compound when I loaded the truck. They wished me well on getting it off, the guy said they welded on...
