Looks good! I would suggest spray painting the lower part of the outer grill so it looks like it is touching the fenders. It will make it seem like less GAP.

Real nice! That would look even better if it were chrome! I was thinking of doing a similar thing, the local plating shop here said they'd chrome something like that for $200. Just an idea. Looks nice and strong. Are you planning on using a winch that fits into a trailer ball reciever?

I am going to make my own winch mount that uses two trailer hitch receivers. The ones you buy only use one. I think my truck is too heavy for one. I am going to put them just far enough apart to cover them with the licence plate.
I have an old Warn M8274 winch. I need to get some parts and rebuild it.

I posted a couple on the first thread of the 4x4 discussion yesterday. I'll post some more once I get the bumper painted.

Looks great! I wish they were all painted like that. I know all mine are. Another tip, You could chop up a front roll pan to fill in more gaps from that bumper. It looks great like it is now though.

My stock bumper is all scratched up underneath from 4wheeling, a roll pan would not last long.

looks great, kinda like mine.... mine has too much bend, it sticks out too far, your looks realy good. i like the tip about painting the lower, outer grill.
my bumper came with the truck, i added the d-rings. just wondering, why did you mount the rings vertical? will they stay in place? i can only here mine rattling in realy choppy stuff p.s i realy get a kick out of the d-rings on the h2, i want to see some soccer mom hook up and rip out an oak tree with 'em lol |

I mounted them vertically to keep the welds close to the bumper brackets. I did not use very thick box tubing. I am going to add a receiver mount winch and wanted to make sure they were plenty far away. Also stops them from hanging below the bumper when I drag it on the ground. I do here them once in a while when I turn a corner hard.
