Wow, way to be a dick.

That was a little harsh bud!! IMHO, there are better ways to say that you don't like something, without sounding like this!!

To the OP, you have to be ready for some "constructive criticism" when you post build pics of your stuff. Not everyone is going to like what you build, but if you like it, then that is all that matters, right??

the mounts are from aj's offroad. the rokmen shackles are not tied in to much yet. there just to find the right look so far. once its all done it will tie everything in. than ks for liking it. i love the look. its very different then other bumpers

I'm not trying to be a dick, I think that the bumper needs more work and at its current stage it is ugly as hell. To each his own I guess.
