Looks awesome! I am very new to this site, and I am wondering how you would mount this to the Jeep? Also, how did you bend the 45 degree angles on the front supports. Thank you, Clay

I was going to use the same bends on mine just because they were cheaper then the larger rounded 90 degree bends but I went with the rounded ones thought it would look better! But now that I see someone had the same thought as me I donno I like the boxy look! If I hadn't started drilling all ready I may have reconcidered! Good job bro

Just out of curiosity, how did you get the end of all of the tubes flat to drill and bolt them? I want to build one after seeing yours and I was wondering if you bought them like that or flattened them somehow?
