Decided I wanted it up a little higher ;) and reinforce the steering box mount

If you just count the steel, it is less than $50, but I did buy a few good drill bits, sanding discs, cut off blades, etc...

thanks man, it was alot of work and there is alot more bracing in the sides then what you can see. If I had to do it again, the only thing I would change would be frenching the d-ring tabs in instead of put them on the out side. It weighs a little bit more than my previous bumper too. :D And it doesn't feel very good when it hits your knee from 30 inches, but it looks good.

Eric, that looks sweet. Thats just about exactly what I had in mind for a bumper. Is there any way you have the parts and dimensions laying around to post?

I have the concept in autocad, but it is at work. Also have the template for the side pieces in autocad at a friends house. I'll see if I can't sketch something up. Hit me up backchannel
