Thanks man, I just don't want to see them I can't see yours from the pics, so I guess I'll just cut the bottom parts off of mine, I have some front end damage, and don't want the header panel and fenders to sag or anything.

I looked from the front and cut until i couldn't see 'em anymore. I'll take a pic tomorrow for ya. Nothing of mine sagged, except wiring... But that was nothing a zip tie didn't fix.

Im using this as a basis for my new front bumper, but im gonna figure out how to integrate a winch in there I really like how you turned the d ring mounts sideways, it gives it the one off look that is sweet! props man!

With a winch, you can go two ways... Cut the back out of the 2x4 and cut a hole in the front for the fairlead and mount the winch under the engine like N20 did. Looks rly good btw, or put a receiver in it and use a hitch winch mount. Thanks! I like the D-rings also..

Have at it! Half took my idea's from N20's bumper. Lol

This is a hitch i put in a friends TJ 2x4 bumper for ideas... Not hard to do.

Nice job brutha. It came out really nice. I have a reciever hitch for a GM truck. I think i'm gonna steal some of ur ideas. It would alot cheaper than buying one.

And the one I wanted was what hudfab used to build. I just need some 1 3/4 tubing.

Thanks for the inspiration broham...lol
