    Got meh some mod money.

    Steel will be ordered possibly tonight.

    4x8 3/16 Plate (skids, bumper sides)
    1x2 1/4 Plate (bumper mounts)
    1 1/4 .120 wall round Tube (front skid bolt mounts)
    4x4x3/16 Square Tube (center bumper section)
    1.5x1.5x.120 Square tube (bumper side supports, t case skid x-member)
    3/16x1 flat stock (skid and bumper trim pieces)
    1x1x3/16 angle iron (skid reinforcement)

    if you guys see anything i should change point it out before i order it :p

    also gonna run grade 8 hardware on the skids and por-15 it all before paint. I know it'll get scratched but at least it'll help some with rust prevention especially on the top where it wont get so scratched up. Ill do the rear bumper as well and eventually the front. need to do the frame too :eek:
