Nice fab work though, and it is different!!

great fab skills! I'll be putting this on mu list of ideas, but I'm gonna go TJ rear flares all around so we will see how it goes... do think you hung that front down a bit far, but I'll wait for finished product to make full judgement, looks good otherwise, keep going... and do something similar out back as well

Thanks, and I already did a custom "factory" look rear bumper/tire carrier!

Wow .... lots of - opinions on here...

Let me tell you from one fabber to another, you did a great job.

It`s pretty obvious to me what your were trying to accomplish.

It`s like going to the dealer...and having a choice in vehicles. One is standard, and the other is `winch ready`...

Good job man, you hit it !
