Default First Time Fab...Any ideas for a bumper build?

Hey guys (and girls?)...so Ive never fabricated anything before--minus just fixing some welds on broken ****-- but I want to fab up my own bumper. I have limited welding experience so I'm trying to decide on a bumper that will be fairly simple to fab and weld, but will also be efficient and badass looking. Any outside opinions or ideas would be greatly appreciated!!

Same here, I would get some mounts from AJs or Rusty's or ??? and use them as a base...

start looking at all the bumpers you can find and decide what style you want. pre-runner? winch mount? with/without brush guard? fitted to body? or ugly stick style?

search. its what i did. i also found one online i liked and copied it best i could for the front. the rear i just winged it really. if you take your front bumper off you will get a good idea of what your working with and see how simple it is.
