I was thinking the same thing.

Yeah that thing looked pretty heavy (lighter is always a good thing :icon_thumby: )
You going to mount a winch on it?

Yea that thing on the front was a warn winch bumper that I found in a scrap pile at a friends grandpas house, I'm goin to reuse the plate but not sure how to reattach it without making it look like it did, the 2 eyebolts on it were strong enough for me to snatch my friends jeep out of a swamp so I wanna keep that. Goin to probably finish it today, will update the pics later dudes :)

Your Badass bumper:icon_hornsup: is my inspiration for doing this bro:icon_thumby:! I'm also cuttin my fenders like you did on the bottom front and trimming the fender for more clearance, I scrub with a 6" lift and 33's but the wheels are offset for a wrangler..

The approach angle is unreal compared to what I'm used to with the stock set up.. I gotta get bigger tires. But that bumper and trimmed fenders like that changes a lot.

Thanks for the compliments. I'm loving my bumper.. Now I just need the money for my axle swaps and winch. You gonna run a winch on yours?
