I will probably make a small guard for the oil cooler and intercooler, but the rest i'm gonna keep open. Like that style

I like how you boxed the frame in there. I need to do that.

Default Nice Work!!

That's sweet! You do nice work! Only thing I can recommend is to add something to protect the grill / headlights. I put a pic of mine below to give you ideas (First is a 'before' and next is one 'installed'). While I took the 'easy' way out, it has positively gotten the most response of any mod I have ever done. I even have people commenting on it up in the woods. . . . Ranger: "Are you the people with the truck that has that massive bumper in front?" . . . . . .

The lights have some aluminum covers on it to keep them from cracking during normal driving. I take them off when I hit the trails at night.

yea it is, I guess the looks of the bumper scare the deer away now. Every time I see one on the side of the road, I root for it to jump infont of me.

i think it would look better if the top and bottom tubes tied together at the ends IMO..but still looks badass!
