yeah i agree with ^^^ by the time you find some metal, do all the intricate bending and shaping, and hoping that all 6 of the holes line up, you might as well just fab or buy a better one. a tube bumper can be made in a very short amount of time, and is probably 3x as strong as the stock bumper. just a suggestion

your revolver shackles are on backwards bro. you didnt need to notch your bumper. they install the opposite way.
