Stubby winch bumper build
 

Picked up some steel today after I threw down a few practice beads. Haven't touched a welder in a few years. Will post pictures in the morning.
Got 70lbs worth for 10$ :)

yeah it gets notched out google ORS stubby bumper

i guess i wouldnt mind doing mine like that, im gonna change my plans a bit

Where'd you find a deal like that?

and you could always add on fender protection later..

Local scrap yard, got some good sheets for a steal

yeah i'll do that when i do my rear

i cut my front crossmember completely out.

the center is 2x6 1/4" box tube, cut the center out for a winch. its currently half way through the winch install, i just got lazy/ran out of thick wire. do side protection sooner than later, i told myself i'd just be careful and ended up ripping my header panel off and splitting it in half.

Cut it out, you won't even know it's gone with the new bumper on

how much space around the winch got pics of the back side ? how did you mount he winch

Here's mine.
