very good point. I will just have to keep my eyes open for down the road. Parts like that are hard to come by around here so this will at least buy me some time.

My bumpers are custom made (not from a business)....but from a friends friends, that has ALOT more fab experience, than I do.

It has an open design...which I thought was good to have....because all it would need is certain spots to be cut alil and new pieces welded in...to add a winch.

Thats what I think the best part about homebrew stuff is.
The fact that you can "hide" details, in your design, for when you finally get around to purchasing things like a winch, BAM! your non-winch bumper is now a fully capable winch mounted bumper.

just my .02¢
