I'm not sure about the strength of that setup either, which is very important for what the function of the hoop is.

I'm sure a winch is terrible as far as aerodynamics is concerned. I won't get one.

I'm thinking some carefully thought out skid plates will help out a lot, especially because I'll be lifting the Jeep a bit more. I'm not sure if there's much else I can do to the front end but I'll need to think that through once my bumper is on.

Any basic suggestions for skid plates?
From Hucho's research,the skidplates will be the highest drag configuration.No aerodynamicist would recommend that route.
I suppose the smoothest,most airtight curved bellypan-ish plates would do the minimum damage to airflow.
