Are you nervous driving around with out a bumper? Murphy's law clearly states that this is the time you are most likely to need one.

Your new bumper looks very detailed. Looking forward to seeing it completed.

New bumper needs to have the attachment points extended back to the spring buckets or it will fail as a winch mount when it is in a strain. JMHO

Yes thats one of the things ive still got to do. This is a bumper that i bought
on the jeep. that i am modifying from the original . It was just to big and bulky
for me so i decided to start hacking at it. LOL But yeah the supports braces
are to short i agree..

The hack n tap works great ive wheeled it a few times pretty hard
with no complaint about it. Makes for a quieter ride on the hwy aswell.
