I have never had them off road or in the mud but I don't think they would do well at all with the strait ribs.

I've already ditched the hideous 82 egg crate grill in favor of an 87 style (my favorite), I do have a new bumper but I won't change it until I gather together the pieces to put the park/turn lights behind the grill. Just wondering. It actually doesn't look bad on any of these trucks, but I'm still changing mine because the 82 bumper is rusty and the 87 one is new.
I had to go with the 82 bumper when I switched from 2 to 4 headlights. The intercooler is too big for marker lights in the grille.


Thanks for the compliments everyone.
