I had a good price on BPI, but got the non-winch version thinking I'd never get a winch. Then someone gave me a Warn :laugh3: ! Instead of buying a new bumper, I just hacked into my old one. It only extends a few inches further than before, and a lot less than an aftermarket winch bumper. Lemme know what you guys think.
Before:
After a Saturday's worth of work:
I cut out a shelf and welded in the plate from a multimount kit after the trailer reciever portion was blasted off. 3/16 sidewalls were welded in, and the entire shellf is braced underneath with 1/4 inch angle that runs from mounting bracket to mounting bracket. There is also 3/16 inch braces spanning the top and bottom halves of the shell. All in all it added about 40lbs of steel and is noticeably stiffer. I wanted to post pics of my welds (i think they came out great) but my crappy digicam won't focus in this light.
