Really? I ordered the Warn mid grill bull bar and a winch mount plate. Gunna order the winch and some lights next week. Lift and tires come in on Wednesday. I think the bumper will look better then.

Remember, this is coming from the person with a full width ARB. I like the fender protection.
Got some parts in today. Don’t like how close it is to the tow hooks. And honestly don’t like the open tow hooks. I’ve seen some that mount under the bumper but won’t work with the skid plate.
I don't think you would want them under the bumper anyway, too easy to get snagged on rocks and junk. And it hurts your approach angle.
Yeah but nobody makes any to replace the factory ones yet. Maybe I’ll get some cut and powder coated.
I think so but barely. That might be a good thing since it’s not a closed hole.
Yep. I had typed "carry a soft shackle" but apparently it didnt post.
Got the truck back and I’m in love.The spare tire takes up over half the bed. 
Assuming that wont fit underneath? What's the plan?
It will only take a 35 underneath. I’m going to build a overland type rack with a tire mount. At least I think. Not really sure yet but I would like for the matching tire to show.
Would be nice to have the tire mount incorporated into part of a kayak rack with the front part over the cab removable when not carrying yaks.
Yes I’m going to make something to do everything I need and look cool.
I like something like this. It would be easy to incorporate a tire carrier that didn’t take up floor space.

This looks clean and simple. I have the same track in my truck so there are no holes to drill.
