Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

Looks sweet but I think it would look a little better if it was higher and covering the pinch seam. End caps would really finish the look. Great job for your first time.

Alright working on plans for a new design. Something cleaner and stronger. Will most likely have D-Ring mounts and built in hitch mount.

I would love to learn to weld. This looks great for first time. Maybe you could find some black Torx head bolts it would give it a more manufactured look. Other than that it looks great. Are sliders nex?

Thanks everyone! Yeah it was fun making it and getting a decent result. We are working on a new concept to redo it. Something that covers more fo the seam and will allow for the weld through hitch and tow hooks. We are debating on how to do a tire swing. One thats easily removeable because during the Summer I will have top off most of the time and plan to make a Baja style mount in the rear.

Thanks though everyone!
