Probably should of waited until tomorrow to post the first of my build threads, but most of the powder coated pieces I built were done tonight and Im super happy with my bumper mod, should of waited till good light to take a decent photo but this kind of gives you the idea. And is a little different. Hope I got this posted in the right section.

OMG! That is awesome looking.

Please share more.
I was probably a little O.C.D on this build but I had in my head what I wanted and went with it. I wanted to protect the outside of the machine. I just set it in place for the photo and will bolt her on tomorrow when I get home from work. I also have brackets to run stainless steel cable from the corners of the brush guard to the roof brackets out of all stainless these will be the limb / brush deflectors. I haven't gone to fast with this build because I've been putting in a ton of overtime but that has let me be a little more methodical on the build and in the end that will keep her a little more custom.

Oh, they are 12" all they way around. That's why, it looks real good.

I've been seriously thinking about adding a P500 as a side kick to the P1000. Maybe, just maybe.

What I great job you have done. It's nice to see a local guy on here. I'm from Richfield so I will definitely have to keep on eye on your build. I would assume your first pic is just a tease of what's left to come. Where did you get your powdercoating done? Here in Twin?

Got a pic to load, today. Awesome job on that brush guard. I also went wide on my front tires. Running 27"x 11"s all around. Not sure why more people don't try it. I have had no issues with rubbing or steering.

Looking at it, again, (I'm also somewhat OCD) I have to say that brush guard is something else. I also love the way you recessed the LED lights into the bumper. Very clean lines. My hat's off to you!

Love them, I agree I'm surprised more don't run them but I think a lot of them don't want to do any type of frame mod.

Thanks I have a couple of items that I would like coated but didn't know anyone that has had anything done. I will have to give them a try. Enjoy the Rig.
