Attached the last bits of the skin today. Next will be the push guard mounts, lower edge stiffener, then getting it smoothed out and getting it ready to spray (bed liner).

My Warn Zeon10 winch (removable). I never wanted to just drive around everywhere with it, and the EcoBoost's air flow to the CAC would be impacted if I did, so, it will be removable and will ride in the bed of the truck with the tool dept.

No pictures today. I removed the bumper and am scrapping it... <just kidding> No, it is time to do some finishing touches, like install an edge stiffener along the bottom edge of the skin (for lateral strength), and install the push guard/light mount bracketing to the bumper.

I've already done a preliminary grind on "Frankenbumper", and it's starting to look pretty good. I won't be mounting it back on the truck until after it's been sprayed with truck bed liner.
