Chopped Smittybilt with Superwinch LP8500
I just had to do it the tubes on the smittybilt src just didnt fly with me
the base is great so I just hacked the tubes welded and patched the holes and refinshed it with herculiner. Went down to Northern tool to get a new vice and came across the superwinch for $399 
there was no way it was staying on the shelf

Bumper looks good.
The Superwinch LP8500 is a great winch for the price. Used it for the first time last week and pulled a 2 door JK and a full size Chevy out of a mud hole...didn't break a sweat.

Looks great! I have been thinking of doing the same, this might have just pushed me over the edge, much better to actually see it, than looking at my bad photoshop...
eMETAL, do you have any pics from the side? Just curious how it looks with the holes not being plugged...
