probably going to start building my own bumper monday

I say shorten the light hoop a little. It sits too tall. And diamond plate is nasty.

 

yeah, lowering it would look better. I just followed the grill line but lower would look cleaner.

 

Wow I really like that

 

if you do diamond plate it you could try doing the top at left 45 and the front at right 45 with the skid back to the left this would either look amazing or really stupid... Keep us posted.

I really like the useful ness of the headlight hoops but unless you move down in tube size its going to make the taco look strange. like it lost a fight and has black eyes.

Winch mount, I know you offroad,



So why wouldn't you. It makes me so much more confident offroad.
downside it cost about 300 for a winch and another 400 for new coilovers that can handle the bumper plus winch, although my stockers are not screaming for mercy as fast as i thought.

 

great job on the bumper

 

the bumper right now weighs about 60#s... adding a winch and plate wont be to bad/hard. i made the "platform large enough to mount a winch and i have some 1/4" plate ready and waiting.

the weight to strength ratio of 2" square .120 wall is amazing.

I did add some expanded steel for radiator/ac condenser protection

 

that bumper turned out great. good job! im glad to see that you added the protection for the radiators one rock on the interstate can really take it out.

This is no joke that stuff is really strong.
