Nice, but am I the only one who's eyes immediately focus first on the open space under each tail light and the vents??    I'm trying to figure out a rear bumper for my 97 sport but it has to wrap around like the original or I'd drive myself nuts.

I'm thinking about eliminating the vents (ragtop doesn't need more ventilation) and see if I can cut and roll the bottom edge up.

The winch area has provided a good place for my girlfriends acquisitions on adventure.  Although the beaver skull was my find, she made me bring it home and it’s much better outside than in lol.

Ok, so the end fillers are LEGIT!  That is pretty awesome.  Really finishes things up.  Would you have any luck moving the spare tire to fit the cutout in the bumper better?

I’m considering moving the cutout in the bumper to match the tire instead, but in reality I may never do it.  Wouldn’t take long.  But now I gotta do a clutch job on it and tear open the rear diff so it’s going to wait.

I love it. The front bumper looks excellent! I'll admit I wasn't a fan of the rear one, but now that you've put some side caps on it, it looks great.

I wouldn't write off the idea of building a receiver hitch into your front bumper though. I have an aftermarket front bumper with a 2" hitch in it, and the fabricator built it so the hitch sticks out maybe 1/2" from the front of the bumper, and the long part that you stick the pin through is in behind (between your bumper and your A/C condenser there is lots of room).

If you build your skidplates out of aluminum, they don't add much weight at all.
