looks cool! I'd weld some plates across the holes on the end to add a ton of strength.

So I finished the bumper this weekend, and also got the lift and the tires on. Waiting for the tire carrier spindle to come in along with the shackle hangers. Land Cruiser coils in back and ball joint spacers up front, on 33x12.50 BFG m/t. Next weekend will be the e-locker install.

Lookin' good! You're definitely gonna be ready for SummerFest.

Although I think you may need to change your signature now. It don't look stock now! 8-)

It looks great! Very modern and sleek!

I’d add some provision for tow points, shackles with the bumper mount extended through the bumper, or something, for those times when you need to yank someone or get yanked out of something.

Some clubs even require tow points front and rear for their runs.

SM:

Very nice work and a nice new avatar to go along with the improvements.

Did you do all the welding yourself and if so what are you using?
