The bumper build is now in progress, slight change in plans but it's actually going to be better

4 lights instead of 3. The width between the frame rails was further than I thought when I did the rendering so to fill it up and not look awkward there will be 4 lights. A pair of spots and a pair of fogs.

I think 4 lights would look better than 3 anyways

I liked the 3 light look in the rendering, but with 6" lights instead of the 7" I originally planned to use they'd be way too spaced out. But I do think it will look cool either way. The biggest issue right now is proving to be getting the brackets started since the end of the frame isn't square like on a new truck, it's got a funny shape to mount the original bumper on, which is no longer being used.

I'm building it off of the spring hangers as my straight lines. That should hopefully keep it square
