Mak your tires look like they have seen better days. How are the rainy days for you, almost driving on slicks.

D shackle mounts, and maybe 2 4" fog lights for a little more light. then Im gonna Linex it and be done with the front bumper haha

on the plate? you mean near the fender? i'd have to drill a hole... lemme get used to the bumper first. hahaha

and nope. I ordered tires, and bought the bumper instead. I'll get around to it. Like I said, I compulsively bought this bumper... lmao saw it, called, bought it.

Sweet dont be disappointed if you cant bend the spring by hand. put it on, mount your antenna and test the flex. you'll be able to bend it then. trust me.

I added a hi-lift and tube mount to my bumper today pictures later, im at work for another 30 minutes. haha. It looks damn good, just need to move it around a bit, its mounted over my hood, looks kinda goofy there.

48" Hi Jack lift w/ Tube mount. Whatcha think? got it from Central 4wd. Since I canceled my 2" body lift. They gave me my $100 deposit back in store credit.

Bumper looks good....two things, can you see with that antenna? Do you detach it while driving in the city? I'd move it somewhere to the pass side, way off to the side. The jack will get jacked if you drive with it there and not drill the studs and put pad locks through em. Don't worry bout the lenses cracking, those turn sigs suck big time. I just welded mine shut as they always leaked, corroded and shorted out (even after I tried sealing). I'd give you the lenses for free but I threw them in the trash. It looks good but its just gonna look way cluttered with all that stuff on there.

I was going to have my friend weld on shackle mounts on mine too but he said that metal is not thick enough and if we did that then i tried to use them they would rip the bumper. so i left them where they are, on the frame below the bumper, stock towing points on a 3rd gen i think.
