It's been a while for a build update so here's the latest.
Turns out the gasket the dealer put on the drivers side exhaust pipe didn't hold. So they replaced the entire loop section. Cat and all, which is one piece.
Also got the corner fixed enough to install s set of Poison Spyder corners.

They came black and with only one 4" hole. I want to add reverse lights so I added the 2.75" below.

And I also wanted them white so I stripped them down and rattle canned them.


Lights from PSC are next.

Not yet. They're painted and up in the attic. I'm waiting on a riv nut tool and lights for the holidays from the kids. ( actually I bought them and they slapped their names on the box )

Well after 2 MTB builds and some camping trailer work I finally ordered the lights and plug and play harnesses from Poison Spyder through Northridge. Thanks for the discount Wayalife!! Just relocated the plate and was able to use the stock light. Now just waiting on UPS.

It's been a while since I've posted but I've also been busy. Installed the Poison Spyder corners and had some work done on the front bumper. The original bull bar from LOD was bent. I had a local fabricator replace the bar and add some gussets.

Sorry to hijack, but how are you liking your bumper so far? No issues with the coating or anything? Looking to order this with a warn later this month and just want to get some opinions before I pull the trigger. Thanks!

Thanks guys.
Jag I just had the whole bumper re-powder coated after the bars were welded on. Seems pretty stout but we'll see what happens on the trail. Overall I love the bumper. I fitted led fog lights in it and really like the way the power plant sits nice and low.

Agreed! I like how the rears and front turned out. Not to difficult installing the corners?

Not difficult at all. Hardest part was the first 11/32nd hole. All nutserts installed fine. Used an Astro tool for the work.

I was just looking at install video and it stated a nutsert tool was provided is that true?

It's too bad they do not make your bumper like that looks so much better. Was it expensive to have them fabricate. Has me thinking about my Warn stubby. Did not like the one with the bar would love to design something like yours to add to mine.

It's nothing to write home about. It looked like a pain in the ass to be consistent with.

Cost $300 total for material, fabrication, sand blasting, and powder coat.
