    Nice work so far.I believe in building not buying myself.When I started looking at winch bumpers,I knew real quick that building my own was a must.With shipping included bumpers were running $650 and up,and I can build one for less than half of that.

Thanks for sharing. Are you going to weld it to the frame or bolt on.

Looks good.

Looks good, on your front winch mount you can get four inside frame inserts from trail tough that make things real strong for winching, I have put them on several rigs and they are real solid and weld to the in side of the 2x4 front frame rails, if you tear them out you would have some other real issues.

Looks good, I did an arb bumper like that once, got rid of the u bolts and used a couple of 1/2 inch bolts and slid a piece of heavy wall pipe into the tube part of the frame and spot welded it to a couple of holes that were put in the tube before sliding the pipe in, it has worked out well with heavy winching.
