i think you should just get a new winch bumper and def get the PIAA lights!!!

I have studied pics of vehicles without the front clip on to see the mounting points and such, it wouldn't be too hard to build one but I don't have the equipment here, mainly a large metal shear for cutting the pieces of plate crisply.

I could however make a cardboard template and then try to make it that way...*waves to JD* LOL...

Yeah, the only things that need wings are those silly flying things, birds, and some fem. products ;)

looks more stream lined.

i would just cut out the edges and weld in some steel plate. then, cut off the front part and weld another steel plate across. then add some shackel points. and then i guess bolt on a winch and some off road lights.

but for better clearance, you'd need a few vertical inches and sturdier tires. 35X13.50's would do.


it's a gradual process. we all understand.

And the front is finished!





Next up? The rear. Which is a  >:(PITA because the whole rear bumper cover must come off to get the side silver panels off. Might end up driving around for a couple days without a rear bumper if I can deal with it  :-\
