From the sheer number of them bent like that, I thought it was a dealer applied option.
If I had access to a welder, I would already have those god-awful chrome behemoths off and custom bumpers on it. I've made custom bumpers in the past, and sported a set of them on a Durango I used to own...complete with winch and lighting. I used to custom make them to order about 15 years ago. Every now and then, I'll see a set of them on a truck pop up on some of the forums. As it stands, I'm tempted to cut the templates, and talk to the guy down the road that welds. Perhaps he and I can come to some sort of agreement, and I can get welded that which needs welded for a price I can agree with. If not, I'll buy another gas shielded Mig welder and teach my son how to do it.
