Let me know how you like them tires. I did consider them. Back in the old days MT was like the only thing I would run. I opened my mind and thus my pocketbook on the BFG's that are built out of balance. Looks good, Nice wheels! BTW wheels were as near perfect as possible.

Yea, that's a driveway shot no matter how much on the bank it is. Ruel is, any tire within 35 feet of a driveway, road or parking lot and it is a driveway shot. I just made the rule! :nike:
There are plenty pictures of mine on the flat.

sorry i wanted to post pics after i had the corners done.
its 11 gauge stainless (.120 thickness) with 4" trailer LEDs. we do sheet metal for a customer that finishes his product in powdercoat that is somewhat similar to nissan's Night Armor (so i thought). the finish is very close in the shade (where i matched it up to the truck) but not so much in the direct sunlight. it comes down to the silver flakes in the powdercoat.
i included a tow hitch but i am not going to tow anything just yet. i made it so that i can put a bike rack on the back since my spare is going up top.
i havent wired it just yet cause in waiting for a tow wiring harness. i figure that i can tap into that for power.
i should have spent some more time on the design cause im not too thrilled about it. now that i look at it, i should have put another bend in it to take the "flatness" out. also it looks a little wide but its not any bigger than the stock bumper.
here is is ready to go to the powdercoater:

Hmm, i cant decide whether i like it or not?!?! Definitely a good idea... but something just doesnt seem right. i guess i just need to see it with the side steps on.
Oh i know... You need some 'D' shackel mounts!!

i looked at the D- shackles but i thought about the thickness of the material i used and decided not going that route. the metal would be too weak and even if i added the d-shackles for looks i would be tempted to use them.S_e_X-Terra said:

Well, I'd have to see the pictures with the corners to decide. It sure looks like it was a lot of work you can be proud of the DIY one of a kind for sure. Stainless is good. You can plug a D shackle into the hitch and that will work. I like the way the plate sits in all recessed as well as the lights, although I am undecided on the lights. One thing is for sure, If I see you, I will know it's you! MC

That is what i wanted. One of a kind. it might not be the best for offroad use but i can still throw a d-shackle in the hitch. speaking of which, where did you get yours MC?USMC XTERRA said:

I got it free with the winch deal. I have seen em at Tractor supply and any 4X4 supply. Pretty heavy to ship so try to find local. MC
