Default Highschool Winch Bumper build

Started building a front winch bumper for my Jeep this morning and thought id share my progress as i go. Heres the pics from this morning:

Im using 2x6 1/8" rectangle tube, 3/16" flat, and 2x2 angle

CAD (ignore the 3/16" lol)



Cut the rectangle tube diagonally to make the winch plate, then added some 3/16" flat on the bottom for strength.




Its still in the pretty early stages and theres only 2 pictures, but suggestions and thoughts are appreciated, good or bad. Ill post more on Friday
