That guy sells them on eBay. But you can get it cheaper.

He's only about 40mins from me, so I'd just go pick it up for $225 cash. (w/ d-ring tabs)

Yeah, I think I just might do it... Was gonna spend $100 on recovery points in the front anyway, so might as well fork over a little more & have it look cool too...

My only issue is that it looks like the mounting bracket ends are welded flat against the bumper. That's not going to give a lot of strength right there. Anytime you build a bumper, the mounting brackets should extend INTO to bumper itself and be welded on more than just the .25" ends.
