Perhaps one of you crafty fellas would be willing to fab me up a front and rear bumper?

I don't have the equipment, nor the space to do it myself.

Better part of a weekend, less than a hundred in material, and a design that's yours,, not someone elses, and be able to run into sh*t all day long.

If memory serves, about 70 or 80 bucks, not counting wire and gas. Paint was 2 bucks at WallyWorld...easy flat black for touch up's. Hardest part was deciding how to make it look.
3/16ths plate, 1-5/8 .133 wall tubing...Built probably 20 or 30 of the things for different type trucks...easy sell for 4 or 5 hundred bucks when you look at the prices of everything else out there. The hardest sell is the guy who wants it to say "Road ....." or similar to look cool...A place here sells those for 1100 and up...mine's just as stout for less money

looks good!

have you ever designed a front bumper with an integral winch plate?

would you be willing to share some design specs and/or measurements from your build?

Winch...yes, wench...divorced her,
design specs...? designed it on the fly, so no real "blueprints" or anything, just tore the tinfoil one off, made the mounts, and glued everything else on to them...took it off the truck, and welded it up, smoothed it, and bolted it back on.
I'm just waiting for Bambi to step out in front of it now...just kidding.
Honestly, If I were to do it over, it would be out of aluminum.
