Here's mine. Its a Logans Metal Front Winch Bumper with a Custom front Stinger/Pre-Runner and a Smittybuilt H20 10,000LB Winch. Comes with tie in brackets and extremely well built and strong.

Here's my homemade. I like it but if I did it again I would make approach angle number one priority so it would look a little different.

i know these aren't the best two pictures, but I wanted to throw a little something different into the mix. Since the primary duty of my Jeep isn't rocks and slow trails, for the time being I didn't need a heavy steel bumper. I did want something larger though. I also wanted something super cheap. When I was able to pick-up this front JK bumper for free...I grabbed it fast! However, the cheap didn't come as cheap as I had hoped as the two 9" long sq. (5x5) tube steel pieces I bought cost a hefty $50 (DC area pricing sucks)!

I will go into details later, and I did record video with plans to edit and post a how to...but it is simple. No frame/body mods, and only a couple of small slits in the JK bumper needed to fit.

It is wide, but I am planning to eventually join the JK bumper with JK fenders to match. I am only holding out for another freebie or nominal cost set (fronts and rear). It is gonna cost a bit to do the brackets and such, but that is for another TOTM. Was it simply the visual width you didn't like pr did you see a technical issue. I want to make sure I'm not missing something.

Tom95yj, that is one of the coolest wheeling pictures I have ever seen. I'm assuming that's out west somewhere?
