Not a bad look! I did see something similar to this with the crush cans cut off.

Keep those pictures coming!
I used the Shittybilt JK winch plate. It's pretty rugged but it was a bitch to install as a bunch of the bolt holes didn't line up and I had to pry and grind to get everything to line up. Its held up well though.

Did this to mine as we'll. Wasn't impressed with the look of the VDPs. Liked the metal aspect of the RCs. Still don't like my stock bumper but this made me dislike it less.

Modified stock bumper.... Painted appliqué, MBRP light bar with 10in rigid light, VDP high clearance end caps. I like it, but honestly replacing all of it with a MBRP bumper as soon as FedEx delivers it!

Haha! Sounds like loads of fun! I usually go the cheap route and everytime I end up wishing I spent the extra $$ and not deal with the headache.

This has got to be one of the best modified stock bumpers I have seen yet! Very well done!

Didn't see this message till now ....

I got a plate made , forget the dimensions exactly but went with sizes I needed, and shop bent and cut for me I just had to drill holes cut for fairlead and trim slightly where it wrapped over top of frame. Was cheap I thought 30$ or so and I used a grinding wheel and broke a drill bit or two.
