so is 3d modeling (almost the same) Its seriously addicting even when you're not good at it like me. i miss modeling.

 

 

heres a couple variants i thought looked good:





i like the first one more

 

what about the mounts?

 

That last one is lookin good. Let's grab some steel n get at it!

 

bumper mounts, or d-ring mounts?

 

they're both the same. the first one is rotated in X just a touch less, so the shadows appear different.

 

i realise that, i dont have a 3d modeling program on here so im doing this in paint/photoshop. i was just seeing how it would look with a smaller/bigger panel that goes under the fender (dont know what to call it)

edit: its stupid trying to do this in photoshop. im gonna stop trying now

 

can your photoshop receive autodesk inventor files?

 

they all look really good

 

thanx.

 

Whats the file extension (.dwg, .dxg)??

edit: if you can export it to a .stl or .dxg i can use it

 

.fm
i can receive multiple extensions in featurecam. didn't know if your photoshop could do that.

 

Just get a Hanson's bumper ... form (aesthetics) & function

 

That looks pretty good. Make sure the side guards have enough bracing though for strength. Also, if you're wanting to save weight and bulk, but keep the winch "hidden", open the top a little.
By the looks of it, you're looking at fully encasing the winch. That's going to be a VERY tall bumper and it'll kill your approach angle. You should be abel to do a 6-8" tall bumper with a hole in the top so part of the winch sticks out, but the mounting bolts are still hidden. Something kinda like this for the middle section:


You could enclose part of the top so the main winch body is hidden, but still save on size and weight.
