Here are pics of my home made fron and rear bumpers. I'm not much of a fan of park benches and patios on the front, but I do plan on adding a winch plate later on down the road.

Thanks, the front still needs about 7 more bolts before I can use it for recovery, but the holes are drilled. I also think the front could use a little more "refining"
