Front Bumper Fab Critiques

Heres some pics of the bumper I came up with. *Most* of its to scale(mounts are) and not the entire design isnt finalized, just what I came up with tonight. Already gonna beef up around winch mount area. But let me know what you think, or any ideas to improve upon it or changes that will make it easier to build. Id like to add an angle piece under each side. Also, a majority of the ideas for the bumper came from others designs.

Maybe try tying it into the 4 bolt holes on the front of the frame. Not sure what its called.
Also, use the sway bar holes as well.

Good catch I did not notice that.

Yeah, but thats sort of an after thought for me. Just didnt include that in the assembly I included in the thread. Also, a stinger might be added when I have time to mess with it.

Thanks for the replies.
 
Needs more triangulation, oops sorry wrong forum.. ;-)

Looks good, needs the fairlead tabs (don't make it a solid bar across cause then the winch 'bowl' will fill up with mud/water) and maybe some holes for lights and start fabin'
