So I can't seem to just buy stuff and leave it alone before I bolt it on to my truck. LOL . My wife bought me a bumper for my birthday last year even though I told her I was going to cut it up and change it. I have a great wife!
So this is how my addicted off road hybrid bumper looked the day it showed up.

I'm not a big fan of hoops so it had to go and since was structural I needed to do some mods. I started by cutting off the light bar and began to fit my Ramsey winch into the limited space. I left the hoop in place till I got some structure built back in.

then added a nice plat of 3/8 along the back for support.

then needed to fill in the front and make things strong in the front.

Then got it welded up front and back.

Then the hoop had to go. It was almost sad to cut off the beautiful welds that were from Addicted but I knew it would look so much better. Got it fitted up to the Runner and drilled the holes for the turn signal LED's.

Then lots and lots of grinding until it was ready for paint.

A couple of days later it was painted and on the truck.
