Default Finished My Bumper

So i got my bumper done. It cost me 10 bucks to make (ran out of wire for the welder).Let me know what you guys think. I think its not that bad for a 16 year old.

Looks good! cant beat the price tag

Constructive criticism: I would have build it so it didnt stick out as for. no use for it to stick out that far without putting a winch on it. You could cut the middle section of the top bar, weld in a plate, and put a winch in there?

what are you uses as front recovery points?

I have 2 shackels on the back of the bumper and thats about it for recovery points. I am probaly going to build a trailer hitch in the near future and that will be another recovery point. Thanks for the replies everybody
