but but... that blocks the tail light! now idiots that run into you have an excuse for not paying attention haha trust me... I got sited for having my CB radio antenna mounted on my front bumper... it was in the way of my "driving view" and could " cause a serious accident" .... a dumb ass park ranger told me that.

Here's a shot of the bumper from a little distance..
Still got some gussets and some extra support and such until I can strip, prime, and paint it

Yep, got mine yesterday while I was working on this thing.
I think I'm gonna shoot a coat of paint on em. Still need to figure out how/ where to mount them..

I can pull the 4 bolts for the bumper and it will tilt back yet still stay attached to the frame. It won't be as big of a PITA as people may think.

I cut off the square poop protection. Sent some measurements to a fabricator for tube bending. Soon as he gets back to me and I get the bent stuff it'll be burned on. Then I can finish the odds and ends on this thing..

Looks good! Is there any side support if someone was to tug on the side protection (by the tail lights)? Don't want your hard work bending under winch power.

Killer job, bro! You kept the right idea in mind, function over form. Nice and tight against the real of the body.....excellent. Are you going to weld in some "D" recovery points, or what?
Your welding has improved greatly. I remember when 1st bought your lil welder, and made your welding cart.....lol!

I gotchya, I want to do a design similar to yours and then tie it into the sliders but only on the back side, front side of the sliders would be standalone from the front bumper
