works for me, been running it like that for almost 2 years now. No drama putting on a front hitch which was important to me to carry other things like racks, bikes etc. Weight savings helps with that. I was going to do the Quarter Pounder which the horns should be cut to get maximum benefit. Need that support for a front hitch. Not doing any crazy stuff with this but use as a mule....I have a few more images of the bumper less look in my home page if you're really interested in doing it

These things are handy as heck with a front receiver installed. I love it for maneuvering my car hauler back into its tight parking spot by my shop.
I am curious - you are running 34s - with stock 3.73 ratio? (even if I'd not run bumperless myself, not totally, anyway, I can appreciate how yours looks. Decent looking rig. A true utility vehicle.)

This actually looks kind of cool. I may remove my Cavfab and use the D ring plates.

Did you have to use the skid plate bracket to mount the 2 Warn brackets in between the frame rails? My JT didn't originally come with the brackets and I think I have to use the nutserts.
