    Thanks for all the compliments. I'm very pleased also with how it came out also.
    The guy that did the fab is a true artist. All I did was show him a picture of the South African Maniac bumpers and told him I wanted something like it (for half the price). Since he does a lot of crawling, he knew what to do to improve on the approach and departure angles--especially in the rear where we have such a big overhang with the XK. Moving the spare to the swing-away created the opportunity to rip out those rails and gain a lot of rear clearance.

    Yours are the best looking aftermarket bumpers I have seen. They look like they belong on it, "compact" and functional. I googled South African Maniac and saw some youtube videos. Good stuff.
