    (oops thats where my chisel went, i was using it to move the bumper down to line up the wholes haha...)
    its pretty much just 1/4" plate welded to the 4x4 main tube then i made gussets out of 2x2 square tube and theres also 1/4" plate welded along the backside of the bumper from one mount to the other side. and 2x2 square tube to support the wrap around plate.

    Well done. I like it a lot. It's going to look good once it gets paint.

    Damn looks good, and i dont see why he couldnt build one that looks like ATOs bumper, its a damn good looking design, why wouldnt he build it like it? I mean Kevin builds damn good bumpers, but this guy obviously has the fab skills and the time to build a bumper, not everyone can afford those expensive bumpers.
