Updated JT retro build

Been gone a while but thought I'd show what I've done with the Bumble build as of late. Still looking for a good "retro" front bumper and winch to mount, but its coming alone. Starting to wish I had gone with 37's, but maybe when these wear out, I'll swap. Have 31K trouble free miles so far on the truck (knock on wood).
New adds as of late
Rancho front and rear diff glide plates
KC lights on sport bar
Quadratec pre-runner grill lights
cowl guards
Bartech grab handles
Diver Down Neoprene seat covers
Hitch skid plate
Retro 4wd sticker on tailgate

Looking good. What kind of retro are you wanting to go with for the front bumper?

Thanks. Ideally something with the winch mount on top of the bumper. Would be awesome to go with a simple C-channel and winch mount on top like these. I don't really care about keeping fogs. I was even looking to keep the stock bumper and put the rock hard plate on the factory bumper, but its just not exactly what I want.

Have you looked into the warn winch plate? It's not on top but it's not that recessed. The winch is still visible. It's sure simple.

The only one I saw from Warn requires the factory steel 3 piece rubicon style bumper which I don't have but it might be a viable option if I can't find anything else. Thanks!

That's absolutely fantastic. Well Done!!! Would like to know more about what you did if you have time
Thats the Eddie special, Ive done it on my JLU. A little advice if you are going to go this route. When you've got everything off clean all the slag off exposed frame rails (you'll see what I mean), prep and hit with a quality non glossy paint, like "Steel It black" or similar. The frame paint is garbage and after 3 years in the desert my frame rails up front are blasted down to the bare metal and surface rusting. Now I have to tear all that heavy stuff off to touch up my frame paint.
