Yeah, hopefully he tested those with a strap end to make sure they'll work.

Ya those are the skinny ones and they work with the straps I have. I am looking for some of the larger rings though.

Any noise from them clanging around while driving?

Yes but nothing major. Other than only puting them on when I need them I was thinking of rubber dipping the end of the drop hitch to eliminate the clanking but really the noise is minimal.

How did you put them on? I don't see any bolts or where you may have welded it at.

JL Rockies thinks you need a winch on there now.

Follow the 45 degree bend back to the tube and you will see 2 - 1"x?(dont remember how long) grade 8 bolts securing them on. I did have to grind down the lip of the 45 to make them lay flush but I did back weld and trust me they are very strong. Works awesome.

I knowwwwwwwwwwwww! I want one so bad but I think the lift and the custom front bumper I am working on(design stage now) will come first.

My hand held grinder with a carbide cut off wheel. Start on the lower part that you are going to cut off to get a feel for how it cuts then go for it.......

Yes, very nice and clean... what did you use to cut the bumper skin?

Thank you, my hand held grinder with a 5" carbide cut off wheel. It cut it like hot butter, ultra clean and the "burs" it leaves behind just pull off and leave that ultra clean edge. I may change the angle on the sides at the wheel wells a bit and take it up some, just letting that look settle in and then go from there. Over all I am very happy with the look.
