    It's not hard, all I've used is a measuring tape, square, a few welding magnets, welder, grinder, a drill and hole saws. It's takes time and patients and a little planning

    Op, you might want to bore some holes in it somewhere down low, part of the radiator is down behind the bumper.

    Welded in some heavy blocks that will be used as tow points later in the build, there fully welded to the structural section of the bumper, and I got the main section of the skid plate cut but not welded yet, totally lost track of time tonight
