i'm sure i posted it up when it was made but..

i would love to take credit but a freind made it. i only handed tools over, held things, cut where marked, jacked the pipe bender, supplied beer and most materials.

plate itself came up good. its only 3mm ally working as a deflector not a bash plate but the bar takes all the force. bar is mounted in 6 places top two tie into top shock mounts and rear roll bar struts, bottom front two mount to brackets on the torsion bar tube and middle/back tow mount to brackets toward the end of the frame horns.

i am very happy with it all.
