    Cool dude. Looks like there are already holes in the frame where you could wrap the bracket under. I have never looked under there

    It's not perfect but for the ~$150 I've got in it I can't complain any. Needs paint, some actual hardware for the license plate, maybe epoxy the bracket, spots for trailer hooks, mount trailer harness, and solder the light wires. Overall pretty happy with how it turned out.

    Damn Luke that looks awesome man! Props to you for doing it! Looks like an ATO but I'm sure a swingout you add would actually latch :stirthepot:

    Bumper gets painted today. Also think I'm going to take the front flares off, I've already decided the rears aren't going back on since they're half broken. Hopefully get the last bit of the compressor stuff done today as well. Pics later.
