Default custom bumper, relocated exhaust...

Just wanted to post some pics of what i've done with her so far. I'm happy with the exhaust, no fumes inside but i do need some sort of heat protection on the floor above the muffler. The bumper is done for now, when i add a winch i'll be adding either a stinger or just a smaller hoop over the winch for protection. I was goin to fit the factory foglights in the bumper but i think it'll be too crowded with a fairlead in there. So some aftermarket lights are in the future...













So next I'm planning to make a skid to cover both the muffler and evap along with a oil pan skid as i've already had to hammer it out once.

I used three self tapping screws with washers, screwed into the frame cross members, and re-used one of the bolts holding the evap box, that you can see in the picture.
