I can't wait to see the sliders once you do them.
I plan to to order a front winch bumper with that small hoop thing like on the green XJ pictured when I get everything else going on the Jeep.
I would love to do a package deal with sliders and bumper. Possibly a rear too if you decide to make a tire carrier.

Thanks for the bumper! turned out great, amazingly easy to install (wish I could say the same for the winch) got it all mounted up and just wanted to show it off a little and promote your great workman ship. If anybody has any questions about mounting the winch to the bumper or how to get a fairlead mounted infront of it without buying some mounting kit, i'll be more than glad to share details. or maybe i am the only one who had some trouble with getting it to look just right I dunno. anyways turned out great and I can post more pictures if ya'll would like

Looks great! I see you have the same lift setup as me and just wanted to know how much it brought the front down with the extra weight of the bumper and winch

alright guys its been a late night with the misses and work but I'm going to get some better pictures today after work with how much it brought the front down (which is i didn't even notice) but here are some pictures of the brackets I made for the fairled. Basically I went to tractor supply and picked up some L brackets. Not sure what they are used for, but they where 7" long on each side of the 90 angle and about 1.4 thick with some holes drilled in it about every inch. So I made a temp-let of the mounting holes on the bottom of my winch. used this to drill the holes in my bumper and to also mark my brackets. (after deciding how far back I wanted the winch to sit and how close I wanted the fairled. After doing this I just install the L brackets followed by the winch with the fairled being in front. Once I decided it looked right to me I took them back off and cut the extra length off that was sticking about the fairled. this keeps the look clean and it also helps with added strength for the winch mount due to all 4 winch bolts going throught these 1/4 inch thick brackets. so now not only would the bollt holes have to try and pull the brackets would have to bend before any side could start to come up.

here is a picture of the L brackets from the font once cut down and drilled out

and this is a shot of the holes mounting it under the winch. I was able to reuse 1 hole that was factory drilled just had to enlarge it, then just had to drill the other hole so the the bolt could line up perfect. turned out great!

again bumper was everything I hopped it could be and I am stoked with how it all turned out. I'll post more pictures tomorrow. My setup is 4.5 rough country lift with 31" tires. Now I just gotta get my 8.8 put in along with a front locker and it'll be good to go.
