Hey guys. So I'm looking to make my own bumper. I want a "stinger winch" front bumper. I like the stinger hoop with the winch underneath. If any of you have a basic build for me please post your pics!

Also if you have any info on where I could get metal to do this, comment please!

This started life as a stock tube bumper (a $40 craigslist find) then the hoop and D-Rings were added later along with re-enforcements for the frame mount/winch. Total investment in bumper about $60 most of the additional cost were the 1" D-Ring tabs

Okay cool, it's weird bc I just bought my xj and we have the same body style mine is a 97 and that looks really good. So I should look for a regular tube bumper?
