Custom bumper advise???

I'm pretty new to the forum. I just bought my first XJ about a month ago. And I just bought a Miller 180 welder and De-walt chop saw. Hopefully buying a plasma sooner then later...

I am going to make my own bumpers.

Front- made for a winch & and possible with a large stinger
Rear- tire gate/gas tank,and high lift jack mounts.

I have seen a lot of nice work on here. Does anyone have any advise that you might have learned when you built yours?

Thank you.
 
Cardboard is your friend and measure 20X/cut once!
 
if you got those, bolt em up, and fab from there! your first hurdle is done.
heres some pics from mine. a million people make a bumper a million differant ways, i can only post mine... if you're looking for more of a conventional crawler type bumper, checkout the vendors and see what you like, and build it like that.

I like more of a trail/crawler type. But you have some nice pictures in your album!
