Arrow New Offroad Bumper

I just finished an off-road bumper for a friend of mine. Months of planning and computer drawing... turned out quite well. The truck has a 3" body lift. We are going to add a winch/fairleed and tow lugs to it later as well as a skid plate below.
Going to make more soon.

Thumbs up new bumper

Gives it a rugged stance, that's for sure. I like it!

I agree, I would have made it go flat under that vertical (winch fairlead?) panel. All in all, looks good!
