Good looking bumper, great job! Looks very professional. How did you construct it? Metal thickness? Got pics of the bumper while you were building it?

And nice truck too!

normally i am not a big fan of winch bumpers, but yours is very nice, looks very professional, i mean i have seen pro built winch bumpers online before, and yours looks way better, no offense to anyone else, but i just like the look of this bumper, i am sure many people on here would love the dimesnions and the materials used,

thanks everyone. i did a few coats ofregular spray can undercoating on the frame. i helped my buddy build the bumper but i didnt weld it. i have no pics of it when it was built but ill take some more of it how its mounted. its all pretty thick metal but i thinks the winch still weighs more.
