Looks good. Wanna make me a tube rear bumper with a receiver in it for me (jk)? I would love to have the James Duff rear to match my front, but don't want to pay for it

Sweet design. My welder buddies dont have a freakin' pipe bender, so as soon as I get a bodylift under my truck, Im gonna be designing something like that, but rather than a winch Im going to put a hitch receiver up front, and then when I finally get a winch, mount it on a trailer hitch so I can use it front or back.

That makes a HUGE difference when trying to get over or around big rocks or other objects. :icon_thumby:

Im going to design my shit with AutoCAD... Would take me about 2 minutes to design that bumper. I need to get the measurements for my mounts first, plus I need to bodylift my truck before I slap a bumper on...

But that is a damn good idea. Using cardboard and a roll of duct tape to make a template would be beneficial if you lack the skills and/or resources to design it on a computer.
