I am really looking for off the shelf, but can't find anything for the 03 to 06 Models. I have seen a couple bumpers I like, the one with the 4 inch tube with 3/16, 3/8, 1/2 inch metal depending on location and if its actually structural or cosmetic.

I am going to price it out first plus see how bad my welding skills are since I haven't done any serious welding in 25 years or if any friends that weld are interested in helping. There are a couple metal shops in town that I can order the cuts from, then I have to weld it all up.

My father's next door neighbor works at Ryerson and one of the guys I go shooting with works for Phoenix Metals, both companies should have whatever I need and/or be able to point me to a local source for small orders.

If I don't do a full bumper, I am really leaning toward Sterling Equipment with their winch grill guard setup.

New intake and tune from 5 Star installed today...

Also the dreaded spark plug change a few days ago. Cleaned up the engine bay a little too. Not too bad for 140k miles.

Not too bad for 140k, hell looks like new to me

Wash and a wax, then installed a bug deflector.

Just went to 7/11, went inside and bought a red bull for tomorrow morning, I get out to start it and the belt rips off, I drove it home anyways I live 30 seconds from 7/11 now I guess I got a mini project Saturday noon

Had a little time today to mess with it and almost getting there....

-finished rebuilding front end (1998 EB)
-dropped off two front wheels/tires to have balanced before putting back on
-continued cleaning inside. including more lost French fry removal work (former owner was a slob, but she gave us the car for free, so...)
-cleaned up rear center caps
-replaced third brake light (thanks LMC Truck; best price out there for this item)

later this afternoon, remove rear wheels and inspect rear brakes and probably get ready for a rebuild to match the rebuilt front ones

tomorrow, Saturday... who knows... have the whole day to sweat over this thing (August in Houston, Texas... you do the math!)
