[QUOTE="JtoU, post: 1085917, member: 21221"] Started making new bumper to get more approach angle and i like the look of frame cut bumper. So it was time to do some chopping for frame horns and make radius tube. I did not find anyone who would bend me that radius tube with first try. So i had to get one radius tube, cut and weld it together to get some what shape as valance has.

[URL=http://s349.photobucket.com/user/JtoU/media/FRF/IMG_3568_zpstkpcxlg4.jpg.html][IMG]http://i349.photobucket.com/albums/q362/JtoU/FRF/IMG_3568_zpstkpcxlg4.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Bumper is mostly done now, it just needs few small things like mounts for skid plate bolts and few holes, mounts for light bars and a skid plate. I have done few different drawings of skid plate and will send those to laser cut once i decide which one I'm going to use.
