I made a front bumper the other day for the 83. I used 5 pieces of 1/8" by 4" plate. I made a light rack about 8 inches up that goes across the radiator out of 1" square supported by 1/8 by 1. It hinges forward in case I want to work on the grill or something. Locks in place with a hitch pin. I actually think it would take a pretty good hit from a medium sized deer. I added 4 driving lights and 2" round LED signals to it. I may build a couple more supports in the middle later. I picked up a used 87 grill and bezels from a guy tonight also. Yay. I just made an aluminum grill yesterday out of expanded metal. Its for sale
