Not bad...doesn't seem like it would give much protection in a front-ender? I have a tendency to run into all kinds of crap on the trail. Is it welded to the frame or bolted?

It seems to protrude (sp?) enough for me. My problem is usually backing into stuff on the trail. :)

It bolts to the frame, here is a shot:

John,
You have more metal in the truss over the 20 than in that bumper.

no doubt about it, those front hooks will see a ton of action in Moab, so its a good thing you spent your time making them beefy.

don't want to rip that off when I'm towing you from the city market.

good job.

no doubt, he might as well bolt a bottle opener on the bumper next...and lounge chair brackets.

Looking good John. I might be redoing mine here soon. Ran into a guy at work that is giving me a small bearing 9" and we are going to redo my bumper with more ground clearance in mind. I have be drawing it up in autocad. I'll see if I can scan a picture to show ya'll.

Wayne, LOL you might be right.

Hunter, gotta have priorities.

Beez, I like the bottle opener/lounge chair idea. Oh Beez, bit me.

Eric, I'd like to see the pictures.

I keep on changing it, but it will be final by the end of the week. Can you tell I am busy at work ;)
