looks great man

 

All of it was remnants (keeps costs down as it's $7 a cut) from a local steel yard. The bumper brackets are .25" while the rest of the bumper is 3/16's. The angle iron on the underside of the winch plate is 1.5".

 

Thanks for all the compliments guys!

 

you going to build a rear bumper. if so make 2.

 

Sweet! Have you chosen which type of winch you are getting?

 

If I do it won't be for awhile. I have Detours Tailbone setup and really like it so I'll be sticking with the stock rear for some time. If I ever do fab up a rear I'll let you know the cost

Awesome result! Sweet build! Neat progress pics! Great Job!

 

sweet winch bumper build... so uh.. how much to build me one lol, i like the design and how its hugs the fenders

 

Nice! Looks stout. I had a question; why did you extend it out that far. I noticed you weren't running flares...

 

I'm putting TJ flares on this spring. If you look through the build pics you'll see I had them clamped on the fenders so I could match the edge of the bumper to the edge of the flares for both the length and width

 

I dig the bumper. probably guna copy design and build a bunch

 

If that's your plan, you better share the profits since I've done all the hard work already!

 

easy buddy just messing with ya.

does look good though

 

Oh I know, just messing back. Thanks for the compliment!

 

that looks great nice job
