    ^thank you again :birgits_tiredcoffee

    it was a my first one and i did it in a rushed weekend...so the welds look like crap I just measured and cut and filled in the gaps with bits n pieces of steel...my next one will be much better and a lot beefier, but not tooo heavy like a full steel. I may also relocate my fogs to a un-lower position to gain ground clearance. possibly this summer I will build and install a skid plate...IF my dad gets the plasma cutter, Ill for sure do it and cut out FORD in it.. but thats a while from now. I think the roof rakc would be a while too, I dont really want to cut into my roof......and im on my way to a s/c truck by summer..just a few more things need to be purchased.

    IMHO if you accidently hit something...those lights are toast..im going to mock up something to protect mine some more...and you dont have any side protection from corner shots...mine is pretty good. I hit a parking sign the other day...meant to, just to see what would happen...and nothing did, not even a cratch and now that post sits at a 45* angle.
