Love it. I would totally smash those bar lights that stick out in front on the rocks though lol. Same with that spot light. But hey, if you do, you could always replace it with a slightly smaller light and recess it. Looks outstanding. The asymmetric for function design definitely reminds me of those special ops type vehicles. Nice work!

Those are Hella brand horns. I welded one to my frame and tucked behind the bumper as well. It adds some echo to it and gets the people's attention better than the single hidden under the hood and pointed into the engine bay.

Wow... thank you so much for all the compliments... the light... the 2 in the bumper, they are completely incased in a steel tubing that goes several inches into the bumper, the lights can be recessed up to 1", I like them here, they have about a 1/8-1/4" recess now. Yes:-) duel Hela horns one high tone the other low... both exposed:-) they will get your attention..

Here are some more fab pics:

That is my son Chris.. if you look at the bumper, on one side it shows DC thats Danny and Chris:-) Chris is a firman, and Danny is an electronics engineer... Race cars Jeeps and dirt bikes are our hobbies... They are on a cross country trip from one side of the USA to the other right now, but I sent him the link and he has been reading it also:-)
Thank you son... I love it:-)!










The blue Jeep in the back ground.. thats Chris' CJ5 72 he is building, it was mine when I was a boy, and I got it from my dad... We built a full roller FI AMC 360 for it, about 450hp:-)
He is doing a complete frame off right now.... and 4link... they do very nice work

I think it's awesome, the design and quality.
It's not for me (and it wasn't meant to be) but I appreciate the design and execution.
Very nice, very unique.
