I was chasing a vacuum leak and ended up removing my front bumper to get at the vacuum ball. I relocated it and while I had the bumper off I went ahead and bolted on the steel smiley face.

Is that home made? That's exactly how I ant to do mine! Maybe a little different so it doesn't look like it has lips though...

I didn't even notice that it appeared to be smiling until after I'd finished it and bolted it on. :/
I'm hoping it won't look as bad once the winch is mounted on the backside and the there's more going on in the empty space in the middle.
For now I might put some teeth in there.

Yes, I built it.

Now, I might just build a different bumper for the other Jeep. Who knows.
Yes, those are Ravines.

Thanks
I'll be removing the OEM crossmember and bolting the winch to the back side of the bumper.
Here's a side shot for ya. Just walked out there at lunch. (Yes, I ran out of bolts and I'm going to be picking them up after work...)

lol, I wish I had time to make more than 1. I was going to put this on my trail Jeep (and I still might) but I needed recovery points for the wheeling trip I'm going on next weekend so I went ahead and bolted it on that Jeep.

Yes, those are Ravines.
Bumper does look good. Looks like a good mix use build

I believe the BS on the Ravine is 5.5" I wish it was more like 4.25" I may space them out or something. Not really fond of the idea but...
Yeah, this one doesn't do a whole lot more than the green trails, dirt roads and hauling the family on camping trips.
