3rd gen front winch bumper almost finished, and other goodies

This is it for now, my tubing bender just came in so I got to get it mounted and and build the bar for the front but other than that its done. Sorry no buildup posts (I didn't have the camera at the time).



the winch mount is 3/8" with 1/4" bumper mounts and 1/4" bottom spoiler.
The sides (minus the corners which are 1/4" for beating on) are 1/8" 2x4 tapered down with 1/4" top plates. The bottom plates of the sides are also 1/4".








Im also waiting on my shackle hangers, they are 3/4" and Im going to weld them to the underspoiler next to the mount right in-line with the frame


heres some other goodies,
my rear bumper




and sliders




I put a dual filament bulb in the parking lights so I have them and turn signals


and last the CB installed, Cobra 18 WX ST II and 4' firestick antanae


Japanese cherrywood trim also

Im working on it, but theres no way it can be made pre-fab. Its gonna have to be custom stuff. I had a talk with the guy from Armorology about pre-fab and there are just too many variences in frames.

You got crazy skills. I know the Armorology stuff looks damn good but your stuff looks really good too. It's a shame you couldn't get this into production and make some money off your blood, sweat and tears...

I've still got the bar to come, but it wont hide the winch too much because I like that about it too
