ideas for a front bumper

[wishtorace]

i really would like a new front bumper on my explorer...
does anyone have any ideas or plans on a nice bumper or selling one?

i hope to include a winch in the near future with few mods to the bumper,
have it be able to withstand decent impacts,
at least two spots for accessory lights,
wrap around that goes just below or barely covers the headlights and corner lights and for it to stick up just alittle by the hood (if that makes any sense).

heres a shot of my front end now

any help or ideas would be sweet!

You could just modify your current one with some tubing to make it look how you want. Also add a plated area for the winch to mount on.

i could....but to tell ya the honest truth....that tubing is exhaust pipe haha

Here you go. I love this bumper. You could copy the winch mounting part, then come up with your own style of bent tubes..?

should a winch be mounted between the frame rails?

Here's a bumper I made for my brother's Samurai that is close to what you have now -- very simple and straight forward.
