It's very humid and rainy in New Orleans and I don't have a garage. Hopefully one day I will.

 

Finished it up over the weekend. I ended up just coping the front of the fender level with the ground. It's not my favorite look but I'll be changing out the fenders eventually anyways. I spayed the bumper with several coats of spray-on bedliner.

 

love your design! and the welds look like mine "functionally ugly" as I like to call them lol ! but when your on the stuck end of the ****** strap you just need them to hold !! I incorporated the class 4 receiver & draw bar from a Reese hitch inside the skin of my built bumper cut to fit inside to the frame horns and plated back to the front crossmember providing extra mounting points, 3 stock on each frame horn and 4 more across the front of the frame ( I have had a bumper tear the 6 stock fasteners through the frame ends on a pull ) I pin my winch to the front or back as needed. yours does look prettier than mine I must admit ,nice lines and fit to truck love the blinker grills

 

my bad on the "blinker grills" didnt have my glasses on

 

Thanks, I definitely need to beef up the attachment to the frame before I do any sort of recovery. It's only attached to the stock location and the steering pump bolt for now. This was my first project so I wasn't too concerned with how the welds looked haha "functionally ugly."
