Maybe eventually. They're for the looks more than anything. Paid 30 for the steel... the whole bumper coated about 60 bucks to make.

Thanks dudes.

I wanted to keep the D ring mounts away from the seam... I have done 3 so far with similar designs, I'll probably try the one piece mount through into the tie-ins. Its crossed my mind just havnt done one that way yet.

My next project is 97+ tail light boxes, its in the R&D stages.

Looks good man, BTW if you make some decently good fitting 97+ tail light boxes i'd buy a pair.

Have those same hooks, and was thinking of adding them on to the stock front bumper, can you show us how you did that?
thanks!
