Very nice. Did you weld any bracing into the back of the bumper for added strength?

All the local shops around me are ******** and won't even let you get scrapings off the floor. I live next to a shop and i grew up with the owners son and he will not give me a discount for something for the local fire dept which im a member!! Thats stupid!! But good job on the build man, looks great!!

Nice build man. Looks like it was a walk in the park building that.

The back of the bumper in between the unibody is open. so I could bolt in a winch easy. There a gussets on all 4 sides. both ends of the bumper are boxed in with gussets inside. I over build everything I do.

Although I will say I spent 3 weeks researching how I wanted to build it and gathering materials.
