Well I just finished making it today. Did all the work myself (design, cutting, welding, and lots of bleeding). I'd say with blades, gas, paint, and steel. $200 dollars. Time-another $600. The winch was $599. The armorology aluminum fairlead was 60 I think. And then 3/8"X100' amsteel blue 30,000 lb. synthetic cable $230. The rear was probably $150 in parts and about another $450 for time

That looks really good!

I'm curious, did you relocate or do anything with your window wiper fluid resevoir on the passenger side?

On the bumper I had fabbed by armorology the corner of the plastic pump area sticks out a bit (i think ric already bashed his due to a rock).

I didn't, but I was wondering about that. It would take a rock from the side to do it so I'll just wait and see what happens
