Looks solid! Keep up the good work. Are you going to go with D rings or just hooks?

Hooks, they will be more then enough for what I will be doing with this rig.

Tomorrow I am getting a quote on powder coat.

Bumper was dropped off for powder coat today. They are blasting and coating it for $75.

If the wife allows the budget for it.

After looking at this pic, a 20" led light bar would look good in between the d-rings. Sweet bumper by the way.

I wouldn't have a problem making one, but shipping it could be expensive. Thanks everyone I am quite happy with how it is coming together. I just hope I get it back before xmas for my present to myself.

Looks great I was looking forward to seeing the finished product. I gotta ask for more angles though!

Looks great. The only thing I'd want to change is the thickness of your tow hook tabs. I'd highly suggest against any side pulls with what you have now.

Yea that was one concern. But I don't plan on going anywhere I would need to be pulled from and 3/8ths will be plenty for light towing.
