looks cool. i think if it was built right you could put a dropped down winch plate behind the tubing and make the fairlead come out between the two tubes on the bottom in the front. i can visualize it in my head. i hope you can see what i am talking about. then put a couple of light brackets on it. i think it would look sic.

If you took the vertical bar out you could put the winch in there.

Post BURMPER IDEA

Its ok though, but its just an idea what do you want to put in front of your jeep. you cant just draw the bumper without first thinking what you want.

It does look cool, I'd prolly buy it if someone made them in the market, and I didnt already have a set of bumpers i like!

But dont you think the outside tubes will get in the way of your headlights and make it harder to see at night/possibly getting stopped by popo? or is this gonna be an offroad only rig? I have to be careful with what i plan on doing to my vehicle, cus its the only one i have and i have to use it to get back and forth to work everyday, things breaking/getting tickets for, as i had cop already say about my jeep, "equipment violations!" what a jack ***! would not be good!
