Sexing it up Tom? Nice!.
The only thing I would comment about is if they are going to be used in anger, you want the center hoop over the height of the bonnet. A few reasons for this are,
If you do happen to go over, the radiator should survive and the bonnet won't get squashed so you can't open it.
You can deflect low lying bush etc over the top of the grille. Again about stoping shit having the chance to bugger the cooling system.
Helps you determine where the front of truck actually is.

Of course if you are not going mental, none of the above matters :mrgreen:

Looking real good

Tom, don't tell Westie but I can speak from experience and he is right or is that left he'll he wouldn't know, but the bar above the height of the bonnet , take a line from the top hoop to the top of the A pillar roof line means that when you go muddy side up you save a lot of damage. ASK ME, I KNOW, FITZY.

True true. This was considered at the pen stage :mrgreen:

The eventual plan that Rob has, see's a full exo which (I see's :mrgreen:

) will see bars running down the side bonnet line and bolting to the headlight bars. As it is at the moment, when I ran a string line from top of windscreen (imagining where the top windscreen bar will go on the exo) to the headlight bars its a clean line. If the truck ends up upside down it should be sweet :wink:
