Quite an improvement!   ;D  I'm also limited on cash so I'll be making my own bumpers too.  I'm thinking a tube bumper shaped like the Calmini winch bumper.  I'm also gonna weld on a stinger style grill guard that'll wrap around the sides of the fender.  I haven't finalized the plans though as I'm worried that it may weigh too much.

 I came up with this on MS paint:

That looks pretty good on the front of the Samurai, nice work.  Are you going to add an opening to the top so you can access the free spool?

You may want to think of adding some sort of attachment points such as "D" rings or something similar for a tow strap to be attached. If your going to leave the top part of the bumper flat, it would be an excellent place to mount a Hi-Lift jack or other tools.

the free spool is easy to get to the winch is mounted so the bolts go stait in from the front behind the roller fairlead.
i was planing on d-rings.
 the top looks good flat i still have the stinger that i cut off but i think it would look goofy on that bumper so i didn't put it on
I'm looking at make a back bumper 2 thinking of making so narrow box's in it for straps and chains 4 recovery.

Thanks,  I like the way it looks but it may be too heavy.  I'm gonna buy the tubing and mock it up,  if it doesn't weigh too much I'll go with it.
