Looks real nice!

You are able to go way closer and small because you don't have fender flares. Makes for a clean look.

Make sure to leave a spot to add a tire carrier!!!!

I wheeled mine all weekend and I am already sick of the spare tire being lower than the bumper. So when it cools down out here I am gonna chop the bumper up and add a carrier.

thanks for the comments. its almost done! all thats left is some trim work, some grinding, them cleaning it up and paint!

as for the carrier...not anytime soon. i don't really want anything blocking my rear window. and plus, i've already made something to raise the spare tire winch up about 4 inches (kinda how schaefer did). just havent welded it on yet...

did you remove & relocate the cross member under there? after my body lift i modded the winch and ground out the hole the crank comes out so it lined back up with the winch. a 33" fully inflated fits..but the edges hit the crossmember. with the winch moved 4" up..will it still line up with the crank?

bumpers comin together quite nicely

Right about there at that bend. I mainly did it to make removing and putting the bumper on an easier task.
