I'm starting to wonder if maybe I shouldn't be shooting for an upgrade for the upgrade i'm having you do with mine.

I can put a 2" receiver in yours, but anything with a winch in it is a completely different bumper...

Z, you know yours is going to take a bit longer, because of the tube work (and I have to get my bender set up, and make a frame for it for the hydro)...
James, I'm expecting the punched parts for yours to be in soon (along with the punched parts for several peoples' rad skids)... I would have expected them last week, but big, rush jobs and that stuff at work... The reason I get these prices at work, is that they can fit me in where they can fit me in...
I've got a couple guys over 8 weeks, though, with the punched and tacked up parts in my shop, so I'm going to knock them out first... Just because they aren't screaming about them (not that you guys are) doesn't mean they weren't in line first.
This weather is kicking my ass, though... Hell, I'd be nearly caught up if I had been able to weld and grind all the time that I've spent shoveling, alone... Even before "snowpocalypse" last week, we had already had over our full winter average of snow... It's also that I got a whole wad of orders in December, for whatever reason...

I resemble that remark.... And yeah, not screaming yet, mainly due to the extra work i've requested and your very reasonable explanation of why it would take longer.
It's nice seeing another bumper come together like this though, quality of the work and all. Gives me something to shoot for later on when the BL goes in and it'll be time for a replacement bumper.
Keep up the good work.

Tube tacked up...
Verticals in the center follow the headlight/grille line...
Thoughts?
