i like it just make sure when it dries out you cap those open spots so mud and dirt don't stay there and rust it out

looks good man, you might add some hoops to stiffen things up and protect the winch itself.

Also, it looks like your dog outgrew his house!

Hey man, don't listen to me cuz I have no experience with it, but I've been cautioned about building a winch bumper like that since it blocks air flow to the radiator. It is looking nice for free, but keep an eye on your temps.

it doesnt block enough air flow to make a difference i still have 6 inches of grill showing. thanks for the headsup though. the winch cover isnt on right it fits snug to winch it looks like its blocking alot of grill but it doesnt.......
