Looked high a low for an LOD plate but everyone was back ordered about 6 weeks it seems so I ended up looking and got the rugged ridge 10a plate, has kind of a built in fascia behind the winch, added a poison spider Fairlead mount with factor 55 Fairlead. Not a bad look at all. EVO front d ring mounts of course.

Love your videos sir. Some of the best how to videos on the internet.

I have been looking at front bumpers for weeks and I cannot find one that I like. This is the perfect solution! All about the stripped down / utilitarian look. I’m also the guy that deleted both fenders on his motorcycle. This is perfect for what I’ve had in mind. Thank you Eddie!! Your channel is great!!! Many thanks from Washington State.

Love it. Revisit when you get that disconnect reclocked. The idea of a minimalist Jeep is a great idea for a build. Especially on a rubicon. Where the factory is almost good enough. I like smaller lifts too and 35’s

I really like the simple basic look with only the essentials equipment needed in addition it saves a lot of weight.

I like it a lot, especially with the red D rings. Good job and great video!

some sort of end cap add on that you can get to protect the frame mounts might be a good accessory for warn to think about. I like the industrial look but those mounts look like they might take some shots.

i just put a smittybilt XRC gen 2 on the front of my new JL, also have the zeon 10s (worth every penny) and had to clearance the upper inside frame tabs as the winch was making contact with it and you couldn't bolt it down. that minimalist look does indeed look better than i expected.
