    They are definitely Creepy Crawlers. I owned a few pair of buckshot mudders and they look more like a BFG MT, or a Cooper MT.

    Not much, but I spent a little time on the front bumper today. Using the grinder I rounded off all the sharp edges, drilled a couple more holes and bent the stock J10 outer bumper mounts forward until they lined up with the straight channel. It was quite simple using a C-clamp. It now has four 1/2" bolts holding it on. I'm still thinking of mounting maybe a couple 2" receivers tied back directly to the frame or maybe just a couple shackle eyes. Not sure yet. Then I sprayed some rattle can paint on it to keep it from rusting. Those new pieces of steel sure rust quick when they are new and unpainted.

    Might be working out a trade with Fisherman from Oregon for one of his fine home built Brush Guards. My original is rusted pretty thin and needs a lot of work. He made his guards out of flat steel intead of round tubes, and I kinda like that look especially for a modified truck like mine. Kinda reminds me of the other early military trucks. Here's a shot of one of the first prototypes he built:

    I just realized after looking at some stock M715's that the factory bumper hangs down a little lower then the body so the bottom edge of the front sheetmetal is exposed, but my bumper on the J10 frame is centered on the mounting btackets and overlap the sheetmetal a little so the bottom edge is somewhat hidden and protected by the bumper.
