As for the write up here is the drawing i made before i started building the bumper hope this helps someone build something similar. Also the winch plate is ruff stuff brand. My dring tabs were 3/4" plate 7" x 2 1/2" with a hole big enough for my d-ring. I but a 1/4" plate across to support the winch plate and the bumper brackets are aj's. All of the finish work to pretty up the bumper was 1/8" thick metal wich seems pretty sturdy. Any more information wanted just ask.

well for a blueprint I might have to charge lol What kind of more detail would you like? I can go into almost as much detail as needed. thanks for the compliments I like it overall i think it turned out great for my first real project on my own. I built a rear bumper last summer but i had a guy do all the welding and help figure measurements but this was on my own except i just learned to weld so i let a friend who is a certified mechanic weld the d-ring tabs and winch stuff figured it would suck to break loose on a pull.

is the actual winch mouting plate bought or did you build that too
If bought, where did you get it i need one to start on my bumper build, if built your a bad aasss!

The 1/8" is probably too light of a material if you plan on beating the bumper at all. First tree or rock you give it a nice solid smack on will probably dent it. Other than that, its a gorgeous bumper.

pretty sure I just found the bumper idea Im going to use when I build mine, this thing looks awesome. Nice welds btw

I bought a winch plate off of amazon to use for the holes in the right spot and thought it would make life a little easier just search winch plate on there and you should find one or just google it and if i was you unless you want the winch plate welded to another 1/4" plate i would get one wider than the space between the brackets and cut it to size.....
yea i don't plan on going around smashing the bumper into things if it dents it dents that is what a bumper is for just right now i didn't want anything heavy and huge on the front because i drive it daily also i think with the way it is shaped hitting stuff won't be an issue because of the small surface area it has....
If there are any more questions i will do my best to get them answered..
Also I won't be able to now but a similar bumper could be made by me if you want but i wont be able to until next summer also i could possibly cut the pieces out and make a "kit".....(I am not really looking to make any but I could I also don't want to start any of those quality/arguments over my bumper because i said i could do something like this for sale, it took way to long to make this to make lots more but i know some people can't fabricate on their own and this would be for someone looking for something closer to summer time i am currently a full time college student without the time/tools to do this.)

Looks good. I'd buy it actually..

nmcommando

Well if you really would like one built still next summer send me a pm....

XJeepWerks

I said I would buy one..... I didn't say I had the money to buy one... Haha.. If I could afford one, I would definitely drop you a pm though. It looks great and would match the front end conversion I'm doing very well.
