Got started on the front. No fun when the kiddos are sick but I have to do something when it's nap time. 
I pulled the front valance as I needed more clearance for the tires and this made it alot easier to bring the winch in under the grille.
My frame horn tie ins. Added a little metal to clean it up and smooth it out.

Didn't want a huge Boner bar but needed something to help when approaching steep ledges.
Also you can see that even with the winch down low, I was able to keep it in tight enough that it didn't change the approach angle. Keeps the weight a little lower without sacrificing the approach angle.
Didn't want it real tall but wanted to know when I was going to hit a ledge.
Overall.

I was really hoping to go but I just dont see it happening now. Too much to do and I'd really like to get some decent seat time in before hauling it all the way down there.
I dig the front though!

Thanks.
Work is slowing down so that really sucks but the up side is I have had a little bit of time to get after some of the things I've been wanting/needing to since I got this thing back on the road/trail.
Hopefully work will pick back up but not too much before Rubithon because I still have a few things on my to do list.

This is really looking great! Nicely executed tube work. Are you planning sliders?

Most definitely.
They are on the list to get done. The Rubicon will put a few dings in them for sure.

Right. Do up a Poison Spyder Bruiser style boner bar. Get 2 of them and string a hammock between them.

Front is just about buttoned up.
Had to pull the front end apart to get the winch back out. I'm okay with that since it won't be coming out for a long time.
Just need to put the plate across the front for the fairlead, run a few more beads, paint it, and throw it all back together.

I've thought about it but I would probably need another 60 with uncut quarters to model it off of.

Thanks. It's simple but I tend to like simple. Thought about adding 2 more tubes from the center hoop down to the side bars but I think they are up high enough that there shouldn't be an issue.
I could probably get you the measurements if your interested..
If it's not that big of a deal, then please do!

Well,a few good news bad news things for my Cruiser.
Bad news is my boss says no work for probably another week or 2. Really kills the whole bank account thing for me.
Good news, more time to get stuff done on the Cruiser.
Bad news......... for the Cruiser anyway, got a phone call about 9 last night from a friend. He said he needs some help for the next few days. (no time on the Cruiser)
Good news for me:
Leaving for Cruise Moab in about an hour!
Bad news for the Cruiser........ it's staying home.
............eh, I'm still going.
