I started fabing my StrongMade front bumper. Cutting and welding their brackets to where it mounts up 1” - 2” lower than how they originally designed it to fit...which blocks lighting from the lower part of the headlights.

Today I got the bumper mounted enough to make more measurements on the final support brackets. Plan on getting it finished up and painted tomorrow. Starting to cut into my deer hunting time! Lol

Finished the support brackets and got everything painted. Will let dry over night and a possibly get mounted up tomorrow, but may need to put another couple of coats of the 3M undercoating on the bumper.

Strong made should hire you! The only thing I would change on your version is the thickness.....it's a bit too tall/thick. But thats just me. It still looks 100 times better!

Thanks. I myself, didn’t like the bulkiness of it at first but now that it’s chopped down, it’s growing on me. Plus I think when I add a couple of LED flush mounts in them, it’ll fill in more.

Ordered my winch today from the store. With the 15% off for Black Friday, it was like getting the mounting plate for free.

And steering already went out ? I'll keep an eye on mine

I didn't really "go out", but it had developed slop, specifically vertical movement on the driver's side...


...and you could feel it in rocky terrain and it felt clapped out. I suspect there will always be a bit of horizontal play, and even my new rack has that, but the feel of slop is gone.
MY original 700 (2014) never got that bad in nearly 9000 miles, but this one had it by 2000. Maybe just a bad one. Or...maybe Honda quality dropping (and yes, I know Honda doesn't make the rack). Several small things are telling me the latter, and if you don't get the quality, what's the point of buying a Honda? This is likely my last one.
