JBG Plate Steel Winch Bumper

Does anyone have one of these or know where I could see pictures of one installed? Preferably the 25017.

I have one on my 97 (but with the expanded steel mesh). I bought it used and it has held up well. It looked off to me because the bumper itself seemed short and the lower loops bent while I was pushing/pulling a box truck around. To remedy both issues, I cut the loops off and added two layers of 4"x1/8" steel at a slight angle to smooth/blend it in better. I added the two 2" receivers and welded the loops under them to finish it off.

For the price, you might be better off building your own or having it built, especially if you have to pay much for shipping.

ford005 that looks good! But the front of that year model is round. I'm curious to see what they look like on the older '73-'79 pickups with their flat front ends. JBG only list them for F150's and I have an F250. I think these bumper's are something I'm interested in but would really like to see one installed. I'll definitely build it myself though.

I think this style of bumper would look good on the 70's trucks. If I were to build one for my 79, I would put the winch lower and under the grill so the bumper doesn't have to stick out so far...makes a nice platform to stand on when doing maint/repairs, but makes it even more difficult to get the already long truck into parking spot, LOL!

I "think" they'd look good too but would really like to see one on one of our pickups!! I'm really hoping this thread will last long enough for someone that has one to post a picture up!!!
