My buddy Winter has some skills when it comes to fab, so I had him help me out with my idea for a bumper/winch mount. The weather wasn't the best at the beginning of the day, so we used an EZ-up to keep any mist or drizzle off of us while fabing. As the weather got better the EZ-up became the shade for the work area.
I told Winter I wanted the winch as far up and back as possible. This is what we came up with.
Tools used were a hacksaw, hammer and J-B Weld..... :
Me grinding the frame clean.
Winter tacking the plate in place.
Finished all of the fab at the shop, and Winter had dinner plans. I got home a finished painting the bumper, mounting and wiring the winch and cutting up the grill.
YOU KNOW IT!!!
With the grill cut up to fit, and the license plate holder I made out of Mag Light mounts.
Eventually I'll get some gussets on the "stinger" and bars to protect the headlights/turn signals and some light tabs. But for now, I'm loving how this came out.
Since I repainted the grill the light bezels look horrible, so those will be painted tomorrow.
The rest of the pics are here, although I didn't leave much out of this thread.
