Made a winch bumper.
 

Here it is. I MIG'd the whole thing so no sexy TIG shots.

Here is how I started. I got the plate hole plots from a PDF on NAXJA that were a bit off. I corrected them before drilling.

Side plates are .250 and then I used some 1x3 with some .125 on the top to mount the winch.

Made the tubes on Bend tech pro first and then bent them on the JD2 bender.

D ring plates are 3/8 and welded on all sides and go 6" deep.

First thing I thought when I saw the thread title was that this must be a CSaddict thread. That bumper looks awesome, post updates when you do the rear :y

You planning to add some novelty bullshit like an air tank into the rear bumper? :6

I have on board air in the bed. I may put tanks in the rockers though when I remove them and use rect. tubing.

Bed?! ----, it's a Comanche? I just came. :o

Haven't really built anything new lately... just turned the boost to 20 psi and blew the headgasket. That was a month ago, too lazy/broke to buy and install an ICS Titan. Plus I got a Ruckus to distract me. Let's not derail this thread, though. :y
