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.

if any one plans on making a bumper make it out of cardboard and you might use 30 peace of cardboard the first time and just work on going down from their so surrey if you plan on making a tube on make it out of PCP or cardboard rolls and just judge it

Great job on that!

+1 again

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

I angled mine on the front and back. It makes a huge difference offroad!

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.
