![[Linked Image]](http://www.not-so-simple.com/albums/trooper/DSC01344_Large.jpg) Kind of a crappy picture, but the most updated. It looks wider than the body, but in fact the tapers at the end are perfectly square with the body lines in the quarter panels.

thats perfect. Could you get me some close ups of the connections to the frame. Did you leave the back open or box it in? And how did you mount the 2" reciever. Is it bolted to the bottom of the bumper or welded to something on the Frame? thanks BASHBRO1

What are those bumpers made out of? DId you find that reciever Hitch part or Fabricate it? ANd If you could. Could you get some close up shots of your Front Bumpers As well. You can feel free to post them or send them to me at nvrbnl8@yahoo.comp.s. That bumper is almost exactly what I was thinking. Very Nice BASHBRO1

The rear bumpers are made out of 3x5" tube. I make my own reciever and reciever mounts. Here are a few pics... my personal rear bumper... ![[Linked Image]](http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c317/onebadtrooper/untitled.jpg)

I can get you more pics tonight.
For my reciever, it is welded on. Why bolt it I see? Also I purchased the tube just so I knew it would fit without slop, drilled my own hitch pin hole though. For one bumper I bought it with the banding. For the second one I made I put the banding on it myself.

Simple rear bumper plumbed for onboard air. Nevermind the tires.
Yup ... I'd do it somewhat different a second time. Are you kidding? That front bumper is great! Simple, no nonsense. I like it!

That is very nice. I can make all the angular cuts on the steel but how did you bend the tube steel? DId you use the old heat and bend method or did you go to a shop and have it bent? How far back do you have the bumpers braces to the frame? And could you get me a few pics of the winch location and how it all fits together? That looks very sharp and besides the tube steel I am pretty sure I can do it. thanks BASHBRO1

That looks pretty sharp. thanks to everyone for all the input though. I didn't expect this website to be THIS helpful. Everyone seem willing to give a guy a hand. But I guess we all have the same passion. Asian SUVS  thanks BASHBRO1
