What I've got for a front bumper so far. Middle is 10" 3/16" I beam, and sides and mounting brackets are 7/16" plate. Winch on the ground is an old 2000/12 Ramsey that's going in it. I'll try to get more pics up when it's finished and painted, which should make it more interesting. Oh yeah, all the metal was free scrap too...

I totally forgot I had posted in this thread... Part of that bumper made it on the truck... Lol
The rest of it had to go due to axle location and tire size. It needs a total re-Fab to fix the approach angle though

Might as well contribute while i'm here..
Made myself some bumpers awhile back for the Samurai out of some scrap C channel I had.
Went with a simple look.. just notched it and bent it then added some recovery points.
The rear was even more basic..
Thought it looked a little funny so a few months later I capped the ends.
I'll be building a bumper for my Superduty after I get the shop wiring done and i'll post that up too. Basically stealing this guy's design, making it a little simpler with a winch built in.
Enjoy.

I have a c channel front bumper and a ranch hand rear. The front one is gonna get a 10 or 12k winch after I weld in some strength plates for my own piece of mind

Taken off a 79 Bronco and finally got them installed on the EB, not fancy by no means, but usable.
1/8" square tubing welded to the bumper, then bolted and welded to the frame.
I just need to get the winch QD wired. Yes I did torch off the down piece on the bottom of the winch plate, old design to trailer mount the winch also.

Its not thru the front D ring.....optical illusion. Also the D rings were already there, so I just went with it. They will still lift up and be able to attach back too.
