    I fell in love with the new All Pro prototype on Black Betty. Such a clean Hybrid and its so very tucked in. This is the look I'm going for when Brandon and I build my front.
    As for the rear I've started to think about ideas on how to do a HC and almost rollpan it and hide the tow hitch. I figure I can knock a good 8" off the rear and drastically improve departure angle.

    For those who haven't seen this yet

    Just hide the hitch behind your license plate. Tube hybrids with dimpled filler plates front and rear could look really cool !

    I'm curious about which winch they fit in there, they definitely had to remote mount the solenoid. Just make sure you buy your winch first :thumbsup:

    Do it up man. Saves a metric ass ton of weight. Only thing I'd do differently is bob it before welding in the tube.

    I'm gonna see what it looks like with a few pieces of scrap tubing and maybe talk with my fab dude.. just not trying to sink a lot of money into the rear bumper thing... or I'd just buy a high clearance

    I'd say screw the tubing. Do that and forget the rest. I've had no issues yet

    I've already boxed mine, would you say to cut up the factory tow package and tuck it up and in?

    It's like a poor man's bed bob ;)

    Replied, yes we will make a bumper after the suspension is done in a few weeks. I'm going to take my time with it. I'd like to incorporate the front skid as well. Perhaps move the bumper bar back and tuck it like they do with the prerunners.

    That's guaranteed. Avid is 2 miles from me and we can work on it slowly. Brandon always overbuilds his products and takes a lot of pride in it.
    I have some really good ideas that will move forward with the build.
