So you have Thanksgiving, grilling a maple brine turkey up for the family and parents with time on your hands.

You take this bumper,

Add a saws-all, a 4 inch angle grinder with grinding disc and cutting disc...

You end up with this.....

I know sorry about the crappy cell phone picture but it was the best I could do while getting gas on my way to pick up some Sam Adams to drink while watching Christmas Vacation. I have a little more work to do on the middle cross support to make some more room for the winch. Then mount up the off road lights.


Oh and I know I need to wash the 110...

You just keep raising the bar for the rest of us, you know that - right?

Land Rover's like to mark their territory it's a fact of life. Luckily my Father in-law isn't **** about his driveway lol.

Thanks, I'm pretty damn happy with how it came out. Need to do a bit more on it to clearance the light mount bar for the winch to go back in though and mount/wire the 8" procomp lights.

Did some more improvements on it and got the winch in place.

Changed out the lights today though for some Hella's

Can't wait to button up the motor swap tomorrow and put it back where it belongs on the front of the 110!
