Default Another home made bumper
Found some 1/4in C Channel (sp?) in the scrap bin at the metal store and made a bumper out it it. Only cost 40$ Had some friends that helped me weld everything together. Added a home made winch plate and all I have to do now is drill the holes for the winch.

It'll work....just don't catch that end on something rough....the Channel tends to bend really easy on end like that.

Looks good for the price!

I'm not too concerned about that with it being so thick.

I hope you knew that most winches will fit between the frame easily and just preferred your way up high?

Nice job.
