I like it, any side shots? Whats your approach angle look like?

BTW is that an antenna on your roof, or a vent from the house in the rear?

yes that is one heck of a roof vent, ahhah, yes i have to agree we need some side shots , and are you mounting the winch in between the frame rails? Hard for me to tell right now.

Not my cup-o-tea, but looks pretty stout.
 
MASSIVE stinger....looks like Frankie hooked you up with exactly what you wanted.

Yep, took a little back and forth, but it's what I wanted. He does good work. Biggest issue was shipping, he's not experienced with frieght shipping yet, and it's always harder first time to work it out. It's something like 2" too big overall dims for UPS to normal ship it. Ended up a GCC from Fayetteville hauled it back for me as he had an empty truck from Savanna to Fayetteville.

Unfortunately these shots aren't the best quality, but you'll get the idea.

Like that vent eh? It's actually used for shooting out ICBM's. (Insense Created by Boul Movements). The winch goes between the frame rails, once I get a winch that is ;)

few more

The one picture shows the A/C drier. Mine is pushed up quite a bit though, I raised it when I replaced it, and it got raised more with the 1" body lift.

The bumper is attached two places top of frame, two places bottom of frame, then two on the side of the frame (all on each frame rail so 12 total).

Unfortunately, threw it on to look it over when I got home from picking it up, and left it on over night, and it's the one day in the last month and a half that it decided to rain - so I'll be blasting it before painting.

Sorry to disagree with everyone so far but that is fugly. Especially with the location of the top lights you are considering. I would like to see it again without those top lights.

I hate to say it but I agree...but to each his own, if you like it I'm tickled to death;)
 
Well, it is different. I think it could be "neatened" up a bit (such as the light mounts, etc...etc...). That is one hell of a stinger though.

I figured the light mounts would get some flak. The lower lights were mounted there so that they don't interfere with the high beams (as best I could tell when mocking it up anyway), and are as out of the way of air flow for the radiator as possible. Same thing with the ones on top - as out of the airflow for the radiator as possible.

Perhaps I'll find that I don't use them enough to justify their existance, and they'll go the way of the dodo bird, or perhaps they will be really useful, and be in a possition that is out of harms way, doesn't cause overheating, and doesn't create any glare on the windshield..... guess time will tell....

could be wilder I guess

Its different. I don't mind it. To perfect it the middle set of lights would need to be moved though. Maybe up and out of the way of the stock lights.
 
So is your mother ;)

And it digresses, your not supposed to start hi-jacking your own thread...even if you're defending yourself.

I think if you add the side light protection (ARB and like that photo you posted of the orange 70(?)) it will clean the lines of the bumper up a lot. I still like it.
