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.
Wired the ching chong winch this morning and it works. Everything fits nicely. Now I can start on the rear!

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