There's a bumper?......... Damn Decepticons.

Looks like the MORE TJ bumper, I think. I'd have to see one (not a drawing), but looks like it might look pretty good. Go for it.

I see someone else is a Solidworks user. My daily job requires it. Looks pretty good to me.

I like how you chamfered all the corners. Looks like a lot of work. Are you forming the light bezels out of composite material?

I actually did my home work. It is exactly the width of the flares. But thanks for the helpful comment!

I think it looks nothing like the Lod? I will admit I took the features I liked most from several different brands. Need to make the wood mockup next weekend. Will be picking up the steel next week from a buddy to begin cutting. Plasma will be fun! This will be the 4th bumper I have made... First jeep one though.
