[QUOTE="Sitdown, post: 551516, member: 8674"] Updated a few things since… Bumpers are still a work in process, but had enough done to slap them on the night before Havoc in the Hills, where they fared great…since survived a trip to the dunes too. Still a bit to do on them, the skid was just temporary, will be trimmed down to fit under the top bar and a 2nd bend to attach to lower skid. I learned I need a good brace to avoid the sagging lip look, and the rear bumper is getting a couple more tubes as well. Real anxious to finish it up and get it to lineX [ATTACH=full]222438[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]222439[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]222440[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]222441[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]222442[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]222443[/ATTACH] Added Light canons up on the hood, and Amber spot D2s to the bumper... 3rd from left [ATTACH=full]222444[/ATTACH] With more lighting, needed more switches. I really liked Big Blue's clean upfitters in his bezel nook, sought to do the same to my right side hole. Really should have just added generic switches in the center console, as this project spiraled into some serious hackage.
