Looks great. I love how you went about it. What thickness metal did you use? What is the width (front to back dimension) of the top plate at the winch?

Thanks for the kind words everyone, The top was a pc of 8" x 1/4" flat bar I had left over from making the rock sliders, the rest is 3/16 hot rolled, if I was to do it again I would use cold rolled to eliminate the mill scale, but the 3/16 was drop left over from other projects so I used it. $50.00 cost. I think the 8" x 1/4" was around $80.00. I did get the bumper and winch installed, the lights are mounted but I still need to run the harness and hook them up. Might move them to the sides of the winch not sure yet. Took some pics but there wasn't much sun so the pics are kind of dark. Going wheeling tomorrow hope to get some better pics.
