So with all the cool idea I got from this site thought I would give it a try turned out great for 45 bucks. started out with 6x3 in C channel and welded a skid plate and top cover. sorry about the crappy pics but tell me what you think

 

From what I can see in the pics...it turned out great That's very close to what I made prior to getting my ARB. Here's some pics in case you ever wanted to close up the ends...I made mine for free with scrap C6 and 1/4" plate steel from work and I'm lucky enough to have access to certified welders and a powder coating booth.

 

like those end caps might have to do that

 

Thanks. I just made templates out of thin cardboard to mock it up and see how I liked it, then we sheered the plate steel to fit and welded it all together. Part of me misses that bumper and the stubby styling, but I also really love my ARB.

Again, nice work on yours...it's certainly very gratifying to do something like that yourself and that C-channel is definitely some tough stuff
