I went to Jason's (Roctac) house last night and got the tube side protection bent up. He said it was practice for him.. I brought the beer.. And Scott (speedsg) came and helped out.
Big thanks to the both of them :kewl:


We left a little room so I can cut the bumper for 35's.


Little bit of a kickout. Lights aren't blocked yet still protected









I think have just enough room to add one of the pirate 4X4 flipoff gussets right behind the taillights on each side. Can be found at Bluetorchfab. Can't link cause I'll probably get in trouble

I still have to add a hitch and some extra side support. (Longest drawn out bumper build ever..I know)
So stay tuned.

FYI its about a 125* angle bend at the back and 65* bend up front. And the wings are kicked out at 83*.
