I think this is pretty much taking the route of a tow rig/recovery unit. Not gonna be beat on like i first planned. I think the powder will hold its own and really cant beat the cost.

I have a family friend with an oven big enough to get the frame in. He powders all the dirt track cars you see. Even for the likes of Tony Stewert. He told me blast and powder $250. He would teach me how to powder and then i could stop by and do it myself whenever i need to.

So my current suggestion:
Don't get powdercoating unless you've got a family friend!

So i got a little bit done. I trimmed the fenders for bumper fit.
Added some gussets to the front.
So heres what im at. I want to incorperate my front crossmember and bumper into my PTO winch mounting. I cut the plates off and ill be welding the bumper brackets to them and tieing everything together. What im wondering is should i flush cut the frame horns to make a flat surface to get a couple more bolts in? Heres what it looks like now.

I'm fairly certain that's what I have on there right now... but it's dark and cold outside - reminds me too much of cheeto's mom's/sister's (same person) well... I can't say that here, but you know.
