I'll be adding the lights myself. Ordering it bare metal.
Local place wanted $1500 for an iron bull. I said No thank you.

not even $200 worth of steel plate

No kidding. If I had time and a welder I'd just make my own. People charge crazy money to custom make one though, and I don't want to depend on a one-off build by joe-bob who charges a 6-pack per hour

Ordered the Bodyguard. Bare metal, with shackles. I'll get it lin-xed or powedercoated after the holes are cut for my lights.

Working out the wiring in advance (and cuz I'm bored) Taillights will be hooked directly to the factory. So 1/2 LEDs running lights with headlights, then all LEDs on brakes and turn signals.
Reverse Lights are going to be a little different. I was going to have them tied into standard reverse (obviously) and also into the dome light. That way they come on every time I unlock the doors or use the scroll-switch to turn on the interior/dome/cargo lights. It'll save me the trouble of wiring in another switch and be a little different.

I've never been a fan of diamond plate /tube bumpers like the ramchhands

Lol toooooo late. It would have been an extra $500 at least to do the smooth style from anyone, so diamond plate it was. The pipe also adds a ton of strength and an extra 80lbs. Worth it for the next idiot who's too close behind me or when I have to yank someone out a ditch

I'm almost convinced the extra weight of my old custom bumper gave my little 2wd a lot more traction can't wait to see it on there
