yea, the rear is basically just like the one i made for my xj a while back so it was just easy to copy it. I've got some rear bumper ideas that i'm kicking around for a production rear bumper but nothing ready to start making yet. The front design is tried and true and ready to start making more.

don't get me wrong, the rear protects everything very well. I've bashed mine from all angles and never got any body damage anywhere near the rear bumper. Its a strong design that works very well, its just not as flashy as the high dollar mail order bumpers.

Nice looking bumpers. I notice that there is a place for a winch, minus mounting holes. How wide(from the radiator out) is the mounting plate for the winch. Reason I ask is cause I have an old Warn that has a wide base.

I didn't have the holes cut in the plate because i wasn't sure what kind of winch he would end up with. There should be plenty of room for an old warn. I'll measure the winch plate on mine next time i'm out there and let you know.

I can always make one specifically to fit your winch too.
