Finished my Front Bumper! and I would like to thanks 501 for the idea and some measurements, hehe I finally got off my lazy butt and finished it up and I love it now I just need to go and weld in my reciever hitch and add 3 more bolts and bedline it and it will finally be 100% complete!!

and you can kind of see my new 245/75 MT tires that I got from Treadwright, I really like them but they are quite loud on the road but oh well I like the way they look :D

It looks good man! When are you going to build mine? lol

Those are the OTR variety from TW though not the MT's. MT's look just like the MT/R's

Still a very good and capable looking set of shoes. How do you like them in the mud?

Looks great dude. That is what i hope to do in a year or so is make my own front and rear bumpers in my fathers shop. I like the thought of it being just the way i want it and not a cookie cutter. Very nice job.

no, I havent upgraded to LED yet, I dont know if I even will, I already have these and they work fine, so I probably just use the money elsewhere, I got all of the lights and grommets and pig-tails at the same place just a small town local auto parts store

Very easy and cheap to do. Used a 1.5qt coolant bottle from Advance Auto and extended the wiring. After drilling two holes, your done.

Yep, I like my new location way more than the stock one anyway. I don't know who thought it was a good idea to stick it down so low to begin with.

I broke mine offroading. I'd at least paint that baby black if you plan on keeping it there. Just kind of sticks out.

ya I plan on doing that I bought the paint, but that is an older pic of my bumper, this summer Im cutting into it and adding my winch plate right in the middle and then re-doing my grille guard to fit over the winch and to help protect the winch slightly
