the 1st pic you have up there is of a little kid infront of the Jeep. my 1st thought was you were going to strap the kid to the front and use him as a bumper. HAHA.... then i scrolled down and saw the rest of the pics. solid looking. good angles.

I think my oldest kid would make a real good bumper, (mainly his head) he was a real crash monster when he was little.

I am going to use ur pics as a base and do the same kind style with a few extras like plating the top (just to fill it in to give a smooth look) gusset and reinforce the ends with cross braces .Now just have to find some mounts.. Build to come real soon .... Thanks...
