Best I've got right now. This was just after getting the flares on and before the winch.

that bumper looks awsome! but on the frame mount brackets i see you only had 3 bolts on each side they may strech over time from winching, i made mine longer down the frame rail and have 7 bolts on each side and put some spacers inside the fram rail from smashing it together just to be safe lol, but it looks great!!

This will be a couple day project, but I figured I'd start the thread and update it as I went along. Didn't get to far tonight, but it's at least started.
Here's what the Jeep looked like this morning:
Removed stock bumper and got started on the following design. It's been slightly tweaked since drawing it up, but you'll see that in a couple days.
Stared by ordering a set of tie-in brackets from JCR. Just a note, if you ever buy these, be prepared to hog out the bolt holes they already put in the brackets.
From there it was making the bumper mounts.
Ground down the corners a little and fastened them up to the tie-in brackets.
That was it for today as my dad and I got a late start to it. Tomorrow brings cutting more pieces and test fitting them in place.
