no winch for the back, I don't see a need for it as of right now.

Onboard air is on the list but not in time for the trip. I dont air down that much anyways and with the 37's i have the full size run flats so you cant really air down with out messing up the tire.

A bumper?

Yep. There isn't a skip plate anymore but this is how it looked on Eric's Explorer. It still looked huge but on the Bronco it looked good. I took ten inched from the middle so it wasn't too wide for the Explorer. You can see how the two bars in the middle are close together, they used to be 11 inches apart.

I don't remember that at all. So all I have to do is widen it again?

Well I had some free time this weekend so I started to wrap up my bumper. I still need to wire up my winch and finish adding strength in a few areas, but the basic shape is done.

Looks good. Are you going to put the winch behind it and have the cable exit through the bumper?

Ya thats the plan. I might get some synthetic winch line before I mount it.

I still need to reinforce it and put a slanted edge on the bottom to finish it off.

Next step after that will be a new grill.
