    its one of the few that increases approach angle (or so ARB claims) and has designated hilift points.
    Besides its the easiest one to get here lol.

    The two opening next to the winch opening look like they could be used as hi-lift points. Don't have a hi-lift to verify.

    Thank you for the compliment and I am not sweating it. Opinions are like a'holes we all have one. I can admit it too, it was fugly during the building process. Especially after a flash rust occurred when it rained.20160813_141651.jpg

    It looks like it would be hard to design a good looking bumper to follow the lines of the 3rd gen.

    I've been looking at getting a new rear bumper that incorporates the factory rated hitch. I've looked at a lot of designs, and I agree with torreyb that some of the designs aren't very clean. But also, they're weak. They claim strength, but many that have incorporated hitches have a limited trailer towing capability, IMHO. And, because they're unrated, you'd be inviting trouble by towing anything serious with them. Of course beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but most Taco front designs borrow from the Mad Max theme, but then, what do I know, I'm from the previous generation. Haha.
