Front winch bumper ***PICS UPLOADED***

[Geoffs89Pathy]

i need to get down to the shop and take some pics.
for this bumper, you guys are gonna like this one, We started with a 72"X 12" X .25" flat stock. We made slits with the grinder along lines where all of the bends are and cut the holes out for the lights and fairlead. then we bent the steel into the shape of the bumper and made a skirt that follows the curve of the truck under the grill... we are using the 36" winch plate as the bottom, it has lots of holes in the bottm for mounting things to, but will serve also so that if anything gets inside the bumper it can easily drain out. the winch will be fully enclosed inside the bumper with the top being able to be opened with a 5/8" thick piano hinge holding the bumper top on. the ends will all be capped and a small light bar will come out from the front and up and across just above the bumper line it will have the look kinda like a bull bar but not that big or bulky. i will try to get some pics up asap so you guys can start drooling.
