Wait, do you want to make one yourself or buy an aftermarket bumper?

You can also design your own just tie it in to the frame so it will be sturdy!

I'm going to do a write up on this when I'm finished but it will have a stinger and a reciever mount to use a removeable winch tray. I wanted max clearance so I cut up a second factory skid and attached it to my skid. Here's a pic of it about half done.

I like that idea. The double front skid is neat. You gonna beef it up with some square tubing behind it or something?

Here's another idea:

I've seen people take that and use it as a starting point and build a bumper around it.

No the factory skid is still mounted to the crossmember and in the rea so I'm only floating 10 in. from the bumper to the front crossmember. I think it's plenty strong enough to float that far at least I hope, cause it's already heavier than I wanted it to be.
