you ever thought of trying to fab up or make somthing like this? just was thinking of how cheap you make/sell your bumpers so you might be able to make and sell somthing like this for cheaper which means alot more would buy? just a thought

I am really Phyched! I have corresponding with Christopher about a new winch front bumper design that I wanted him to FAB. for my 2K XJ. Here is a close faxsimile of what it will look like. He will build off his PreRunner Winch Bumper and add the upper Fender Guards and tie them in with the center Winch Guard. I am also having him add another pair of off road light tabs so I can run Fog Lights. I just sent him payment, which he has received!
To all who are like me and have BIG PLANS but NO $$!! "Let to Your Daughter Take you Jeep to College for 1 Semester!!" And Magical things Could Happen To You TOO!! (1 totalled Cherokee) Luckily only Front Parts (PAID BY INSURANCE((HAHAHAHAH)) NO DAMAGE TO DAUGHTER "THANK GOD" "IT WAS A JEEP""

I talked to him about a bumper similar to yours. I want it to look more like this though.
It's similar to yours but I want the tube/guard to follow the bumper lines. Basically the chin you could say. Not just flat across side to side. I want it as high as the one in the pic and come around the sides to protect the side marker lights.
Not sure he can do it because I dont think his winch bumper sticks out far enough on the sides. Maybe he could design a one off. Personally I'd like to have him build it and if I like it then I would pay for it. Not sure he'd do that and it's understandable but I imagine he could sell it to someone else if I didn't like it.
I dont think the bumper I pictured is worth the 1200.00 they want for it but it's the one I like and I'm hoping that around the end of February beginning of March we can figure something out because I'll have the funds. If not I might just buy it or go with a JCR bumper.
Who knows.

I still really do want that guard too that has the side bend around the lights but im gonna try cuttin my cow catcher up & see if it aligns. If not then ull be gettin a PM from me!! 
Side view of how they bend around the corners:
This shot leaves enoung room for the winch & a set of driving ligts, plus i like the angled front pieces:
Then the last pic the guy posted: (please ignore the double pic i posted just above, sorry bout that, i made a boo boo!) LoL

Christopher I thought I would post this picture of the side angle just for retrospect of how I want the tubes bent and tied into the center prerunner bar that goes over the winch.
Thanks

Christopher,
Here is a side view of the bumper showing the way the upper tubes are bent. As I also said I want them to tie into the center bar that goes above the winch. Thanks Man.
