Sweet man, looks a lot better with the skid plate. Nice construction. Do the bottom bars bolt on to the sway bar mounting holes?

Looks sweet. The plate would look awesome with just some clear and no paint. Is it stainless steel?

Do you live in A.J.?

That's gunna look awesome, swirl finish really stands out in the crowd.
AJ is Apache Junction, it's in Phoenix. The neighborhood and mountain in the backround look pretty close to whats in that area...
