haha, looks good! You would be amazed at how strong those Rubicon Express stickers are. that winch wont go anywhere! lol (that's actually scary) Looks like a good start though.
Yeah let me know when and I will come help.

That's not the only reason. She loves to wheel, otherwise she would have got a clean little 98 that's better on gas!
Yes that's a winch welded to the factory bumper LMAO some people these days

My corners are similar, only I used tube then plated it. Made the corners quite a bit stronger that way too. I should have narrowed the rear of mine, it looks like it's got a big ol' fat @$$! But i like having plenty of room in the back still for gear, cooler, etc.

Ya I'm not quite 100% on it, but there isn't a whole lot of options to match the top section to the lower bend... It's 16 gate so its hard to work with! I think it looks better in person, & for what the jeeps turning into it works.
As for the bed rails, I'm gonna use the factory inner plastics, & heat up the bend. Then cap off the back, & weld a 3/4" tube along the outside of the pinch weld that bends with the dove. Kinda hard to explain, like Cory's lower hoop that runs along the top of his QP, but with smaller tube.

I'm gonna give it some time, & make the other side the same. Once the tailgate is cut & folded to the same angle as the top half it should flow nicely! Then I'll burn it in permanent. (or tell she goes under the knife again)
Zach ur gonna have to come see it before you hate on it too much lol
