My new bumper
#19
Good looking build. I like the light pockets. Whether you're wheeling a lot or even just rarely, having recovery points is always a good thing. I'd defintely put in some recovery points - solid piece of steel block welded along the mounting plates and extending out from the front of the bumper with a hole drilled through for a 3/4" shackle. But, it's totally up to you. Either way, you got a nice looking bumper.
Here's an example of a good, strong shackle mount:

Bumper did not get painted tonight. But on a good note I got my signal lights and corner lights smoked and they look great maybe I can get my bumper painted tomorrow I can't complain cause I have nothing into the bumper except for time so my fingers are crossed to have it installed and lights wired up tomorrow

Well here it is the finished product sans lights being wired up. I want to wire them into the low beams does anyone have any suggestions on how to do that? It also needs maybe three or four day lighters what do you think?
