Looks good! Time for a skid plate!

 

That does look sharp! I have been tooling around the idea of something similar.

 

thanks guys i do wanna put a skid plate on it but i decided wait till i get the body lift installed (when ever thats gonna be IDK) cause its gonna throw off the geometry of it

 

looks good!

now you got some protection, instead of all that plastic crap, good job

 

lol yeah ive already knocked over some deadfall on my buddies acerage its good to be rid of the martha stewart special lol

 

i would steal some of the original bumper to put betweeen bumper and head lights look good im looking myself too build something exactly the same but over stock bumper

 

yeah im prolly gonna put some kinda plating in there but by the time i get lights on it which will be right in that corner it shouldnt be that noticeable

 

what about adding a "t" in that large gap in the middle, like whats in all dodge grilles? just a thought

 

I like it alot but i think it will look good having sheet metal where the screen is
