He will build off his PreRunner Winch Bumper and add the upper Fender Guards and tie them in with the center Winch Guard. I am also having him add another pair of off road light tabs so I can run Fog Lights. I just sent him payment, which he has received!
To all who are like me and have BIG PLANS but NO $$!! "Let to Your Daughter Take you Jeep to College for 1 Semester!!" And Magical things Could Happen To You TOO!! (1 totalled Cherokee) Luckily only Front Parts (PAID BY INSURANCE((HAHAHAHAH)) NO DAMAGE TO DAUGHTER "THANK GOD" "IT WAS A JEEP""






I talked to him about a bumper similar to yours. I want it to look more like this though.

It's similar to yours but I want the tube/guard to follow the bumper lines. Basically the chin you could say. Not just flat across side to side. I want it as high as the one in the pic and come around the sides to protect the side marker lights.

Not sure he can do it because I dont think his winch bumper sticks out far enough on the sides. Maybe he could design a one off. Personally I'd like to have him build it and if I like it then I would pay for it. Not sure he'd do that and it's understandable but I imagine he could sell it to someone else if I didn't like it.

I dont think the bumper I pictured is worth the 1200.00 they want for it but it's the one I like and I'm hoping that around the end of February beginning of March we can figure something out because I'll have the funds. If not I might just buy it or go with a JCR bumper.

Who knows.

No increase it was always 200$ plus 75$ shipping and his bumpers are top notch. Hell a state trooper told me he was jealous he couldn't put a bumper like that on his Tahoe last week.

I still really do want that guard too that has the side bend around the lights but im gonna try cuttin my cow catcher up & see if it aligns. If not then ull be gettin a PM from me!!

Side view of how they bend around the corners:


This shot leaves enoung room for the winch & a set of driving ligts, plus i like the angled front pieces:





Then the last pic the guy posted: (please ignore the double pic i posted just above, sorry bout that, i made a boo boo!) LoL

Did L&L make that bumper and guard? It looks much better now that I can see that the angles follow the bumper.

Christopher I thought I would post this picture of the side angle just for retrospect of how I want the tubes bent and tied into the center prerunner bar that goes over the winch.
Thanks

Christopher,
Here is a side view of the bumper showing the way the upper tubes are bent. As I also said I want them to tie into the center bar that goes above the winch. Thanks Man.
