day and a half wasted

[jamsironwork]

been wanting to make a set of prerunner style bars for the front for a while now so with a week off thought i would give it a go.
first pic shows what i had in mind, made mine off the car when they started to take shape went to offer them up to see how they looked only to find i had made a complete pile of poo.
why do they look so $$$$? the bits masked up are polished stainless the rest was going to be black.
i suppose this style of bar needs to be higher with bumper removed

If at 1st you dont succeed! You'll get there in the end.

[da SLUG man]

you gotta replace the bumper or integrate the bars with the original...

[marky]

Bingo, deffo loose the bumper.

I'm half way through a set to hold a winch for Linda's truck, the trick is getting them tight to the grill and high up so you gain approach angle and looks nice.

cheers openback like the look of that first one

my bumpers got some nice big rust holes around the brackets so wouldn,t be missing much to skip it
