Hahahahahaha, I was waiting for that one!

Bumper looks great and the inner fenders are very nice. kind of mad you got yours done first. I have plans to make almost an identical rear bumper and now it looks like I am copying you. Thanks... Haha.

So I guess my sleeper status is more or less revoked now.

Got the 38 gallon rear tank in, and Jonny re-did the bumper supports. We opted not to run tubes below the tank since they'd be scrapers for sure.

Hey, it looks good over here too. haha

Thanks man! Originally I'd planned on having them plate in the gap between the main tube and the lower portion of the grille, but now I'm debating it. Seems like the lightbar will cover most of that gap. Thoughts?

I'd leave it open. Even without the bar it won't look bad. IMO Plating that would look odd. I guess I can't picture it never seen it done before.

It'd look sorta like this, except mine would be welded on and powder coated the same color as the rest of the bumper.

Leave it open!

I made the call...no top plate. The lightbar is gonna cover pretty much the entire gap, so no real need for it. Keep it simple!

Good call.
