I have a diagram of a bumper mount that ties into the steering box mounts and works really well , If I had a scanner I could put it up but no luck. PM me if you'd like a copy and we can work something out

An option I would like is not only a winch option but also a front step bumper. Of course, I use mine a bit differently than many on here, but it's used often around our little farm and you would be surprised how convenient it is to have a good step on the front of a vehicle, that's not too huge but still usable as a step. If you could do all that AND observe the contours of the jeep, I think you would have a winner.

Nice looking bumper. If you start to sell these I may be very interested. What is the cost estimate?

With 2" receiver, shackle mounts and grade 8 hardware they should be right around 200 plus shipping. I changed them up a bit.

I like it alot so far!

And did you say $200 with a 2" receiver in the middle? Cause I would like to have winch that hooks into a receiver so as to not have it up front all the time just take it with me on wheeling trips.

very nice. I like the design...only thing I would change is right on the corner @ the marker light...would make it a softer corner by cutting a triangle out of the top plate and adding one plate.

hope that makes sense
