LeftHandRubi - What a good looking bumper, all tcked-away so neatly. Looks Fabulous! After reading your signature and learning of the mods that you've done, your rig is one of envy...(for ME)

I am definitely considering Benchmark Designs. However, I would prefer a wider wrap around bumper more like the Olympic Smuggler. Also hoping Smuggler doesn't require cutting rear cross member like Benchmark. But then again very few people have the Smuggler which may be telling me something.

Hey RHB, Thanks! We have been modifying my rig over the last few months to get rid of weight and to improve the departure angles, but I didn't want to get rid of the rear winch. So TnT came up with this bumper. I've got an Evo Lever Double throwdown in the rear, and they managed to put the rear winch back there anyway, by putting it in the storage cubby. Right now the rig sits at 5800 lbs down from 7200 lbs. LHR

Just a good lookin' Rig you got !
LHR- Question: Is your back-cubby, then, Kind-of-cramp ?? (Would you consider a close up pix of behind driver's seat ? )
You mentioned thta your rig has lost some weight, so I can just imagine it can certtainly Gett-it-goin' whenever you want ! I'll say again..It's just a delight to even envision your rig, LHR.
And here, I thought my installin' my tranny cooler last weekend in 22 degrees was some accomplishment. Hmmm -My labor input & cost "Are Nothin' " compared to the hours of labor you've 'installed in Yours - Muchless the $$, input. (Would have loved to have been there to help
or (even watch & stayin' out of your way) to see "The Build". What's Next for you: A Full Cage ?
I doubt that I can ever follow your lead...(er..talent), but dreamin' for sure.

Thx. It is down to 5900lbs. Here are some more pics.
The winch was mounted in the cubbyhole.
Next up is a full cage.
TnT customs is doing all this. They do nice work.

"Caged-In", huh ?
LHR- Thanks for the pixs! And, "Full Cage" ?? Not that I was a 'fly-on-the-wall' and had overheard your alls' discussion about a cage but, it was about the only thing some might (possibly) think needed to be done. 
Painting, To Match body ( I bet). When completed, I bet it'll make some of us, Wanting!
Your signature reveals that you have arleady accomplished, sooo much! Just Nice to admire! And Cheers to you.
