Do what I'm thinking of doing: Get a friend with a tube bender and bring a tape measure, level, square, sawzall/saw and beer. Hack off parts here and there and then make it look how you want it to. A buddy made his own for an Explorer, and all he did was make a 1/2" plate between the "frame" mounts in the bumper and reinforced it. Badda-bing, he pulls us out with a 50 dollar homebrew tube bumper

That is pretty much exactly what I want for my rear bumper, but I'd like higher tire mount.

Got design specs???

Here is what I made.
I generally dislike round tube bumpers. But I like how these look, espically the rear. My only regret is not allowing for winch mounting on the front.....may have to head back to the drawing board for that....
