Over the past week or so I upgraded all of my speakers and also added a subwoofer, so now everything sounds great! I fixed the wires in the doors because my old ones had snapped, and then I replaced the stock door and soundbar speakers with some 5.25" JVC ones. The sub is an 8" pioneer and I built my own sealed cubby enclosure for it, and my amp is a 400w Boss brand one. Everything sounds so much better than before and I'm really happy with the setup and how it turned out

I made a cardboard bumper template to test out my design. There's just a few minor changes but I'm really happy with it. I also ordered a 4'x8' sheet of 3/16" steel that should be here this week. I'm going to try to do most of this at school because we have a nice plasma cutter and mig welders. I still need to figure out the unibody brackets, but I think those should be pretty simple.

Thanks! I wanted a more low profile look so I'm just putting a 2" receiver on the front and once I get a winch I can put it in a cradle and use it on the front or rear

Looks good, I have the same plan for a winch, I dont want to buy 2 but I am sure I can get myself into situations where I would need it front and back
