Another front bumper
Well, I don't think this is as good as my back bumper but after having a winch sitting in my garage for about three months, and getting stuck in snow without it on the jeep, I figured it was time to get goin. I told myself I don't care how bad it is I just want the winch on there. So here's some progress Pics of attempt number two! I had one before this and it wasn't working out so I just threw it in my scrap bin and started over
So far it's all 3/16 plating, except the frame mounts, those are 1/4. And the shackle mounts are 1.5x.75

It's not blown through at all.. Its just big beads that have good penetration. But yes on one of the d ring tabs I did over cut it a little. I don't plan on using those as my recovery points seeing as how it's a winch bumper.. More for holding the winch cable.
Got a plasma cutter to play around with
A lot of grinding....
Basically done! Just gotta mount the winch and mount it on the jeep!

Why does it being a winch bumper mean you can't use it for recovery? Winches fail. Make sure the bumper is able to recover you.
Looks good though I like stubby bumpers for some reason.

Thanks, and you have a valid point. I thought of that as well, and trust both those mounts as recovery points

Like I said in the beginning, I plan on making a new one within the next year or so, that is more thought out and better designed for approach and clearance angles. But as of now I'm just happy to have my winch on the jeep instead of on my garage floor
