    Are you going to put a plate on the front or leave it as a tube bumper? It would look sick with maybe a single hoop but it looks good now too! Great designing, Welding and DIY skills man!

    Thanks man, I love doing this kind of stuff. I just wish I had some more tools to make it easier haha

    Thanks! Its going to get an aluminum skid plate on the two tubes that go down to the crossmember. The one I made for my 4runner has a light hoop on it with my 4 Hella 500's mounted on the main tube, but I don't think Im going to put a hoop on this one since she has lights behind the grill
