[QUOTE="Walt Jaquith, post: 428262, member: 18654"] Been a while. The Jeep's in winter quarters, the 8.8 project is on hold and I've been concentrating on... other things. But I scored a Badlands winch on sale, and wanted a bumper to mount it on. I wanted something more than just a raw plate, but a lot of the commercially available bumpers are just too busy for me. I like the clean, uncluttered look of my rig. So I designed my own, and am fabbing it up. Here's a sneak peek... It's made of 11ga steel, doubled in strategic places with bent lips and gussets for strength. Aside from the 3.4in shackle mounts which will go in the rectangular holes, the whole thing nested for cutting onto a 34x40 in chunk of steel, My son works at a shop with a burntable, so aside from welding consumables, I'm into it for about $85 so far.
