I was planning on sanding the whole thing down but that link is good intel! I didn't know that! Thanks!!!

The winch cover plate will be held on by hood pins. Haven't built the cover plate yet though.

As you can see the winch cover maybe has to be an inch tall. I'm gonna cut an access hole for the clutch lever.

A front bumper was the next on my list. I just may steal your design, with your permissions of course!

The reason it took so long to finish was I was waiting for a tube to get bent but the problem was finding someone to bend it

I plan on pulling the fog lights off my rack and installing them on the bumper then add 2 more spot lights on the rack. I also planned to add a "stinger" with 2 support bars going down to the corners but I'm outta time. I leave for Army BCT on the 25th
