Out with the flimsy plastic and sheet metal,in with some steel!!!...

Did you make that? Nice plenty of protection and wrap around. Do you have an extraction point, can't quite see it. Looks nice though.

Looks good, but it's my turn to be an armchair quarterback

I would have incoorperated a hitch into the bumper. That way, you could just put one of those shackle mounts inside the hitch for a recovery point.

I do love the design tho. It looks cool

Did I make that? Yeah,me with a welder would end up on Fox10 as a house fire...Hunter Offroad built the bumper,I go in Tuesday to get a couple of D ring mounts welded on, then a can or two of black paint,and then I'm set.Well,at least till I get more $$ saved up....

I'm sure the bumper is beefy enough to pull from anywhere on it... looks great!

That is a nice piece. I likey.

Sand Bag, if you have a 2" receiver, you can use the hitch pin itself through the loop of a strap. Simply slip the loop into the receiver and pin it.
No need for a fancy doohickey.

All painted and shiny!

Wow...it looks a lot better painted.

That's nice.

Since Hunter built it, it'll hold up forever. Mine have.

Only problem going to Hunter is seeing the tube frame buggys,or the fully caged old school Bronco just sitting there,giving me mucho expensive ideas,like having the only caged,full frame,SAS,Titan engined R50 in the world.Maybe if I win the lottery.....

Looks great! Have you considered trimming some of that sheet metal behind it? Maybe paint it black?

I was at Hunter today, looks like I will use him for my bumper and some other things.

Yep, the next round of mods is coming soon for the Meany too. I've got to design what I want build, and it's likely I'll be headed that way my ownself.

Mostly has to do with stowing stuff in the bed, since I now have a 33" spare, and it doesn't fit underneath.

He cannot cut that sheetmetal off back there, it is an outside wall for lower inside compartments.

Speaking of the lower compartments,I was underneath the back painting,and looking at all the open space I gained where the spare tire used to be.My next mod is probably going to be a air locker,so my question is,has anyone mounted the air compressor in the back,underneath?Or is this a bad idea? The underhood area is already pretty crowded,so is mounting the compressor somewhere else a viable option,or is it better to squeeze it in the engine bay somewhere? I think I saw on the Xterra boards a guy who mounted the ARB pump inside the truck,in the hatch area,but that seems like it might be a little noisy.Any ideas are appreciated.
