    The passenger side will mirror the driver side and the fog light hole will most likely be in the first section to each side of the front piece.

    Working on how the skid plate will work together as well as allowing the option for the owner to keep your 4xGuard skid plate if your prefer (I want to sell you one if you do not have one but I do not want you to spend money buying something you already have).

    and lockable???

    Bumper looks good man! I like it.

    You know on the old tube bumpers, people used to make them double as an air tank. Would that be possible with a design like this? That way, we wouldn't have to move the spare or try to fit that pancake tank inside the wheel well of the spare. This is me just thinking out loud.

    You would not get enough air stored to be of any real use.

    There might be a space in the bumper to install a small compressor however.

    Doc closed his shop and moved to his garage at home this week so that has unfortunately slowed my projects a little. This is still a goal for February.
