My new front bumper - making lemonaid!
6 weeks after buying my 2011 Mango (less than 2500km) some idiot made a left hand turn into my front bumper and fender. I will say that the plastic crumpled nicely and there was less damage than I expected. Was still really pissed 
Anyways, instead of replacing the stock bumper with another ugly stock bumper, I took the money and bought some rock armor and some sheetmetal. I don't know anything about welding or fabrication, but I've got a buddy who does! Three nights afterwork and one Saturday afternoon led me with this -
I'm picking up some bolt on shackle mounts in a couple days and will eventually add either a light bar or a stinger, but I've got a few things to worry about first.
Who sells bolt on shackle mounts that line up withthe factory mounting holes?
