Huh??? What sub-frame??? There is a sub-frame on a framed truck??? Are you sure??? Do you know what a subframe is?? or did you just type this wrong

Isn't this when your frame is sick and takes the day off you call in the sub-frame?

Uh, the lower a-arms are attached to it. It's definitally called a subframe. Most independent front suspension trucks have one.


A quote from this post from Outlaw:

"Dual structural mounting locations. Bumper bolts to frame horns and has a custom crossmember that attaches to the lower subframe to distribute loads through the chassis."

Ah, I see now... Its not a sub-frame... A sub-frame is a detachable frame piece that is bolted on unitized body ... They just mean that it attaches to the cross-member... It to can be welded on too its a separate structure so, I can see why they call it a sub-frame since it is a separate welded on piece...

Lol.. I didn't say post up all the pictures of any sort of bumper you can find. The thread is the mystery bumper. Those other companies don't look like the mystery bumper. Infact one looks like a big mud flap. Retarded... IMO

What constitutes your idea of the mystery bumper? If based off the original "mystery" bumper, the one I posted of N-Fab's creation is the most similar IMO.

You posted one of SDHQ's and that's similar to the Outlaw one and now you tell me they aren't categorized as a similar bumper design? What are you smoking?
