We would really like opinions on the sides.
option 1

option 2

option 3


-Its built to accept all of the warn winches, forward mount or bottom mount. Pictured with a 12k forward mount.
-Uses 2.5" round LED turn signals
-Cut outs for Square driving lights
-The center will be 1/4" steel for strength, the rest 1/8" to cut down on weight.
-Tow points for D-Rings integrated
-We are thinking about options as far as tube grill guards and headlight guards.
-No cutting of stock sheet metal or grill. Unless you want to, Then we will have an additional set of holes for you to tuck the bumper even farther back (likely around 1"-1.5").
-Should fit 2wd and 4wd trucks.


(yes this is being modeled on a 2wd. It will also be getting lifted in the front to level it out.) Oh and take a peak under the hood.
