BTW, i really like the platinum/grayish color of your prototypes. It should be an option.
Have you been spying on us? I think you will like the wider version that is in the works now.

If you want a custom color, call. The anthracite (dark charcoal gray) color in the pics is a two step metallic, so it will be more expensive, but we can do it. If there is enough interest, I'll make it a std option.

I would totally buy that as well. I like how that looks with the factory fogs. Good job Happy Curmudgeon.

hmmm my thoughts. Do the winch and radiator bars, triangulate the radiator bar to the winch bar for extra strength. I like both of them.

That is a good idea. It might look good! Certainly no worse than anything i have seen to date. You couldnt go right to the top corners though (on the grill bar) or the headlamps would be blocked, it would have to attach lower, or be moved inward on the top horizontal bar...

I would lean closer to the inwards on the horizontal bar, though between the headlight and turn signal would be the other option. Horizontal bar would probably be the better position, but probably wouldn't look right. I know lots of people that run the radiator tube on TJ's untriagulated and have used it with no problems. Can someone photo chop a radiator/ winch bar in place.

I agree with Happy C. Please add a location for the front plate if possible (to be removed while off road is good). I'm ordering one when they become available. Thanks!!!

I can do some, but i am not very good.

Here is a quicky of the two hoops together (yes i know the winch is backwards, i mirrored one image to use with the other) I didnt try adding bars yet...

It is with any winch, you'd be suprised how the motors on most winches are the same diameter size 6000-9500....with that Boat of a winch in there now there is less than 1" to the bumper face.

We're working on a wider version, so the stock or other 4" lights can be incorporated.
