To be true full Frumaker is the one that did most of the work, I cut here and there but without him this would still be a dream. I'll pay him back if he ever need to put in an engine of something that I KNOW how to do. This is how it should look in the end, where the lights install will be flat metal and the after that angled with the grill. What you guys think?

[TAPDH3T]

Yeah its going to look sick.

 

[SolidusJ]

FEEL MORE THE FREE TO POST UP A PHOTO OF AN OTHER WAY TO TAKE THIS!!!. I was thinking of maybe going all the way to the end of the grill and get to 5" lamps on a angle in there? I'll post up the photo I used and if you have some time and skilled in photo edit show me what you would do!!!

I do like the light pods as you have planned.

 

[Ron46]

I cant wait to see the finished product :corn:good job! it looks sick!

 

[SolidusJ]

Had to blow off some steam so I made this, I forgot to put in the angle but I like the look of it.

 

[TAPDH3T]

I like it just like that as long as it doesn't get in the way of going with larger tire sizes!

 

[TAPDH3T]

Looks good as long as it don't get away of getting big tires..

 

[SolidusJ]

I was hoping to see someone give a whack on that photo to show me what they would do.:gaah:

 

[TAPDH3T]

I will play with it tomorrow!!!

I wish I knew how to do that. How about adding another triangular-shaped piece to your last side piece - and angling it inwards (towards the wheel) and up to the grille- like the side plate on the BA bumper. Let me know if a pic would help in showing you what I mean. Great job solid ,:cheers: can't wait to seem the finished product.

OK OK can I get one in the front just the right side.

 

[Bigunit]

You bet. here are some front right side pics:

Need any more?

 

[SolidusJ]

OK I think I have it!!!!! From the top.

I didn't like how flat the front of it looked so my wife came out and put this on.

After some trimming.

Now to close up the big hole.

We just place a piece the and kept on an angle, can't even see it from the front.

Maybe?????

 

[Bigunit]

You nailed it! That's exactly what I had visualized and was trying to convey to you. That's is going to look great! :thumbs:

The stock metal is way to thin to mount the winch on. Also I think it's a pain to get to the winch is something goes worng, main reason I went this way because I can pull that plate off in no time.
