Looks good. I'd weld the hell outta the point where the stinger meets the winch mount since everything rides on those two tubes.

Its welded along the entire length of the tube front and back, I feel this is a stronger design then most out there

Wow dude - I am seriously impressed.
By far one of my favorite 1st gens on here.

Do you want this to be your build-up thread or do you already have one?

I'm happy with it just being in the 84-85 section Isn't that where your build thread resides as well?

Thanks, are you referring to the flares in the first picture? Those were Bushwacker flares. I removed them and sold them on craigslist. They were cracked, and they were also the cause of all of the fender rust you see.



Finished painting the bumper today, and installed my black grill that I recently picked up.
