    What parts to you need to convert? Is it just the grill, headlight assemblies and front bumper?

    Yeah... so sleeper it's stock :eek:

    No aftermarket bumper for me. Would love a plate bumper because they look badass and would destroy anything in its way, but it makes no sense for me... especially since it's a daily driver and I'm trying to keep weight down for fuel economy sake.

    You could always make a tube bumper. Mine was $250 in materials and weighs under 50 lbs without the winch. I understand what your saying, though
