    As for the exterior, I did long ass runs and fully welded the outside -

    Nice!

    I can’t believe how much work it is to build your own bumper/ weld together a kit.

    That being said I get anxiety looking back through my buggy build :rofl:

    Not in this case.

    The exterior was fully done for aesthetics as those were all open corner so I could blend it.

    Look at the inside pic.

    That's so badass.

    I wish I had (and knew how to use) a bender and notcher.

    Yeah my rear bumper wasn't a kit, just diy :rofl::bananadead:
