Getting started on the winch bumper today
Gonna end up with 6 mounting bolts here
Same with this side. The 3 steering bolts (being upgraded to grade 8, and HD steering box spacer I'm gonna make) and I'm going to make room for 3 more. Should be plenty strong
Now in between the mounts across the bottom will be a 32 3/4" piece of 2x6 tube to add some rigidity to where the winch will reside.
What do you guys think so far? Especially on my use of the 2x6, is it overkill? Esp at almost $9 a foot
