[QUOTE="Qaddiction, post: 429428, member: 18430"] Time to turn my attention to the front. Again, I really like the factory front bumper. It's the OEM steel 10a that can be modified to fit a winch, but I opted for an aftermarket replacement instead. The previous owner had pushed in one of the front plastic pieces. I may try repairing it before I eventually sell the bumper. I decided to go with a minimalist approach to the front bumper on this build. I bought a VKS Shorty V3 bumper with no bar. I liked the winch being recessed and the light weight (26 lbs) was the clincher in my decision. This was also cerakoted to match the rear bumper. This bumper requires cutting part of the frame rail and the crash bar off. Nothing like cutting on a new to you vehicle! I'll be nervous as hell for sure. Unfortunately, tonight I only got as far as removing the stock bumper. Heading out of town for work for a few days. I won't get back to it until early next week. Until then, here are a few pictures.
