I do all my own work.
Thanks...I figured that out after re-reading.

The 3/8" steel plate will have a 4" x 4" x 1/4" spreader between them that will act as a cross member. This will also facilitate the carrier for a hitch receiver for the intended removable winch set up.

I'm slowly modding mine, but with trying to save for a house down payment, and having a truck payment it's slower than I'd like. Lol. So I'm trying to live vicariously through anyone and everyone I can at this point.

I've got $5, is that enough to have one made for my '16? It might be a little R&D...

BTDT!

Good news though! For $5 you CAN have a bumper! MINE, AAMOF! Bad news is, that it will be in the form of a photo on high quality photo paper. Oh, and I'll consider postage paid for as well...

Well, if you can believe this:

Out of 3 "items" I need to finish the front end, I got 1 installed. 1 other has been on back order for a month from the manufacturer. The last item, well, companies that make push guards give the distinct vibe that it's some sort of proprietary big deal. And there are more variety than we thought. We finally found the correct part, and it has been ordered.

So, it will be at least 2 more weeks until I can put the final touches on, as I'm leaving for an overlanding trip to Death Valley in the morning.

Trust me, I'm not happy about the unreasonable delays either...
