Its nothing special yet but Im going to add a winch plate and winch, and a jeep hoop style recovery point, probably shave my horns back a bit. Its ugly but practical for me. It cost me 30 bucks and 1 and a half hours, so its a start.

I think you should of gone longer (same width as the Expy) and angled up the ends on a 45, but you still can still make what you've got look cool
The Expy is looking good :flamingdevil:

It is ugly but I bet it would leave a nasty imprint in someones vehicle. Don't do that just to see. Just saying though
