Spike, I'm certainly a fan of sliders for ~$300 if you could make it happen

Nope.

I laser scanned the front end of my truck with the bumper off, and started drawing one up, as a board project. I'm a mechanical engineer, by trade.

Aside from what appeared to be lack of ability in some of the other attempts at this on the board, there is one giant obstacle that stands in the way of such a project.

The "L" word; liability.

That's what stopped me in my tracks. What happens if hurt or kill yourself, or someone else with a home-brew bumper on your truck? Or even just damage something?

Good intentions evaporate instantaneously in today's litigious world.

Get hung up on rocks, I always get told to do the ones that encapsolate the rockers

My brother had those tubes on his zr2 s10 but never wheeled it ,wife wants step nerfs cause we want to go another inch on the lift and little taller tires

I would weld flange plates and bolt to the frame somehow, just me
