1800 for arms, axles, brake lines, tie rod extenders and lca crossmember.
Looking for an opinion before I get my bumper started sometime this month.
IM kinda stuck on two ideas.
Stock bumper with flares on the side, with amber d2's in the dog light mounts and 4 kcs in front of the grill mounted to a tube bumper under neath for a clean look or make one like the ADD race style bumper
This painted red


----------

Or this style tube bumper

Built a new light mount to bolt to the core support with four kcs in front of the radiator. Custom grill work next after I get these bolted up.

It's a custom grill, cut the honeycomb out of my grill and smoothed out the edges. Bought the grill mesh off of customcargrills.com. Made some brackets for the back lip of the and attached it. On the look out for some 60's Ford broncos letters in red to complete it now

Haven't had any problems so far with the lights blocking the grill. I've been watching it closely.
Still trying to decide on letters. Really just trying to clean up and organize what I've got before I do more mods like a bumper that people keep bailing on to help me
