Looks good so far. Me personally I would drill some holes in the rock sliders to look more scale. They look a little funny solid . I love the stinger

Nice stainless work mate! That looks the goods!


I'd definitely look at putting some holes in the sliders.

thanks for all the comments guys.

i had thought about doing some "speed holes" in the sliders but i figured if i left them solid it would help everything slide under them.

and like rookie said, i TIG welded everything.

hey rookie i got a good deal on all of it.

I don't care for the style of yours (no offense) but those welds look AMAZING! I might be interested, if you come up with a design I like. Could use some sliders for my J10 but, they'd be a custom job, cuz nobody else is gonna need them at the height I would.

Hell yes I would definitely buy one of those bumpers! As far as sliders go, if i saw another style id be interested, maybe some that stopped closer to the body and didnt extend so far out. And could we get light mounts drilled into the bumper?
