Yeah, thats kinda the idea. Like i said tho, the dims are pretty rough... lol
The front is going to be just big enough for a pre runner style bar incase I decide to add lights. I dont know yet???

now what you do is take that bumper you just made. put it someplace safe.
now go and work on mounts. then when your done with the mounts.
take both files and merge them (simple copy and paste then move)
