you might be able to get someone to bend a simple hoop for you on each side for some upper quarter panel protection on the bumper wings

I went square tubing because of the "whole not having a bender thing" for my front bumper and it came out looking sweet. I think stick to your guns clean it up, plate the holes and put on some paint then it will look sweet. Good job! I like it.

After this certain predicament I was in today, I'm not bringing in the side wings at all.

I'll post a better picture later, but maybe these will give you a jist of where I was at.





Thanks for armor. Stay tuned for updates.

One of the 3 wise men. He keeps me safe and keeps me from making bad decisions on the trail. I think my music was too loud when he was telling me not to go into the ditch.

I'll be getting some work done on this POS tomorrow, namely creating the triangle plates that will make the 4X2 taper up into the 2X2 wrap arounds. May not be able to add pictures until effing next week though.
