I am in the process of building basically the same bumper with the exception that I moved mine forward around an inch and a half. I also am dropping it another two inches as I intend to add a receiver mounted winch! I will post some pictures when I finish this weekend, If thats OK! By the way where did you relocate the vacuum canister!

 

By all means! I put the vacuum canister under the hood. While you don't have to, I'm going to relocate the horn too, It's just kinda dangling there on the driver's side.

 

Thats what I was thinking, I will probably remove the cruise control which does not work anyway and place the vacuum canister in its place, if it will clear the hood! I don't need the cruise control on this vehicle. As for the horn, nobody pays any attention to it anyhow. I had gone with 2X4X3/16 tube and am planning to put a strip of diamond plate on top as I did drop the bumper below the grill. I think it will look a little cleaner that way!

 

I like it i think i will put it on mine but add a brush guard

 

Sweet, post some pics when your done...

 

By the way where did you get the weld-on mounting brackets for the "D" rings? did you fabricate them or buy them? I was going to make them out of 1X3 steel stock however the local steel supplier was out of 1X3 and offered to order a one foot piece for $100. I think most of that is delivery charges from his other mill which is 95 miles away from here. The way that you have yours mounted is fine with me!

 

They were like 10 bucks a piece at Tractor Supply Co.
