Thanks. I might put a stinger bar on it. I just needed some tow points for the front.

I used 2x5 ,1/4", I got 14ft of it for $120 bucks. I'm using it make another bumper for a buddy.

Maybe you might put some brace pieces from the frame plates, out to the wraparound ends. Give them some support too.

Looks like you cut some of the plastic off. Did you cut it off flush or remove it totally?
