I wanted something slim and that resembled an iceland bumper.

Default Very nice!

That is a sharp bumper. Who is it made by? I assume you by the post but maybe you had it fabbed up at a shop.

Thanks for the compliments, a buddy and i built it. I started this cherokee build a couple months ago and i just couldn't find a bumper i was excited about so we built one. Next month hopefully i'll have the rear built with a tire carrier, plus a tru trac in the rear and a eaton e locker in the front!

Nice work!!! Looks awesome and love the recessed hidden winch mount. The only concern I'd have would be if you had an issue with the winch you'd have to pull the whole bumper off to repair winch

^ But then again the winch is out of harm's way of mud and water and probably near impossible to be stolen. I think it looks great.
