you should cut a big hole in the top of that bumper and make an internal winch mount.

If or when I ever get a winch I will be doing something like that with this bumper but for now I'm not sure when a winch is going to happen so hole cutting will have to wait.

i would like to see more pics of those sliders, especially when you get the pinch weld bracket on there (mounted if possible).

if you were gonna put the tubes on yours too i would love to see pics of them as well, i am sure there are others on here that would like to get some of those from u as well

Yeah the set that I have on this thread is now going to someone different and I am going to fab up the set for my rig tomorrow after running to the steel yard and getting some material. I just don't like the round tube for the frame bracing, can get a better fit with the rectangle tubing and it is the same if not a little more strength so that is why I'm doing with rectangle instead, material is the same price either way the rectangle I think is like $7 more for a 20' length so not a big deal.

Also if anyone wants to ask "odgreen89on35s" about them I just met him the other night and he got to see my work.

I should have a good pic or two of them up on here by tomorrow eve.

Ok so got it almost done today. Still thinking about putting some angle on the bottom corners of the bumper.

Here is what the bumper looked like the day I got it.


And now here is where it is at now, everything is tacked on and going to start welding it up. Like I said might be cutting and putting a angle on the bottom corners of the bumper.

Just for a update I got the corners cut where I want them now and working on boxing the rest of the bumper in. Very happy with how this bumper has turned out and from what it looked like when I got it is a world of difference hear.

Went from this..............


Then to this...............
