still need to cut in the recess for the roller fairlead.

That's almost like I did mine but I used a flat piece of plate in the front.

yeah iv been looking at everyones winch bumpers for awhile and decided to do something alittle different in the front that i hadn't seen before.

Looks like a solid setup look forward to the completed piece

thanks im going to try and finish it this weekend but i may have to work.

Good stuff what welder you use

Looks well built. What made you decide to have it stick out so far? I guess you didn't want to cut the OEM cross member?

i have an old lincoln sp-125 plus that the power output and voltage ratings are exactly the same as the new 140's with .030 flux core wire, and yeah i didnt want to mess with cutting the crossmember

It's added radiator protection ;-) lol

i was thinking more alone the lins if unibody suport.

got some more work done today. got the roller fairlead opening cut in and mounts welded up and about 90% of it welded up just need to take it off and finish welding it up, then paint it.
