are the sides gonna be wrapping around the front 45° corners? it will deform if something doesn't wrap all the way around.
what's the notch for in the front on the passenger side where it bolts up to the crossmember? I don't know much about TJ stuff.

Must be nice to be able to work with a brand new, fresh sheet of steel..... once apon a time I bought a 2'x4' sheet from the local shop, I nearly shit. is that 3/16" ? how much did it set you back if you don't mind me asking?

$50 is an awesome price, but at $350 he is marking it up a lot.
