Decided to put up a new pic with new and relocated driving lights. There's a method to this subtle madness but you'll have wait a few weeks.

I decided to reuse my old track bar bracket and fab up a stabilizer mount. After about 90 minutes of cutting drilling and filing this is what I have. It needs some "refining" and another clamp. Cost so far...3.50 with two clamps

Almost finished shot of my bumper project. Just have to finish polishing it and pop the plastice inserts down.
Sharp eyes will notice I filled in the spare tire winch hole.
Oh yeah... new exhaust tips.
