Raising the bar! I do like the recessed fairlead. Maybe copy that idea later.

You are welcome to copy anything I post up. This bumper would look good on Vera. My bumper is not exactly the same as what Proffitt's made but I got the idea after seeing their bumper, I don't feel entitled to any ownership of the concept. Build away, you have to get going on Vera. She has been a project for a long time now between both of us.Yeah, I am so copying that for Vera..... Since it was your prior project I am sure that exempts me from any copyright issues, correct?
Damn, you have been kickin' it! Seems like when I brush on POR15 it looks great, then I go to bed, get up and it has drips on the bottom of the frame. However, that is doing one coat, waiting 4-6 hours (whatever the label says) then putting a second coat on. I guess my question is ... what is your method. Just one coat, then dry, scuff and a second later?
Keep an eye on those sway bar frame mounts
Not your welds, but the material next to them. My thoughts were that it’s could potentially be too far away from the frame rail in the horizontal direction for the forces applied. I would add some support on top of the mount up to the top of the frame rail as easy insurance. That will pretty much guarantee it won’t break, or bend the frame rail in since it’s not plated between the mount
Green lines are where I would add support, red arrow pointing to where I’d guess it will probably cave the frame rail in a bit otherwise.
You have pretty long sway bar arms with a low rate bar so it might not be an issue at all. I’d just keep an eye on it
