Well i spent the better part of today with a plasma cutter and welder "trying" to make a bumper to mount my winch. This is where it gets interesting.. I hit a mental road block on how to finish it up (no, I don't have access to a tube bender).
I have the center the way I want it... but I can't for the life of me come up with a viable idea for the sides. This is what I have so far..

My idea was to cut the sides from the bumper with the mounting bracket and use the original sides with it.

Any ideas?????

Sorry for the crappy cell phone pics... :(
 






Using your current lines, taper down and wrap them around. Basicly turn this bumper upside down onto yours.

Well, here's what i came up with. Not 100% satisfied with it, but it does keep me legal and they are only bolted on... so it could be considered temporary.

Looks good for a temp job.
