Hey guys so i started making my own stubby bumper/hidden winch set up for my jeep.
This is my first time at making a hidden winch bumper so it ain't the slickest bumper out there but i like it.

I used 1/4 plate for the mounting brackets at 14 inches to catch the power steering pump bolts for added support.
The rest of the bumper is made of 3/16 plate.

Not finished yet, but heres the evidence of the progress. (Apologies in advanced for the crappy quality on the photos i only have my phone ).

I like that it isnt a rectangle like all the other stubby bumpers I have seen. looks good.

Thank you. I found square bumpers are too simple , so might as well challenge myself while I'm building it.

Are ya gonna be able to free spool the winch or gonna be winch in /out only ?

I hoped that it would be hidden winch behind a stock bumper, Now that is a Challenger.

i like the shape of that. mines a box bc it took almost no fab to get done lol. add header panel protection or you will hate yourself.

I will be able to free spool going to have a small link to a slot in the top of the bumper.

Thanks. Im debating weather i want to have bolt on sides for the bumper for header protection.

My original idea is to incorporate part of my Exo cage to protect the header.

You can reclock the lever on most winches to be able to turn them from the back.
