So here is 15 minutes worth of work - I like the hardier looking bull bar type deal - those skinny ones look none too sturdy to me.

Here is a look at the basic shape - kind of more like the HLC bumper -

And since beer and CAD don't mix well I'm hitting the hay

LOL! Dont forget some recovery point atachments, and I would make a more gradual angle from the frame mount to the ends but thats my 2 cents

x2. This'll be a winch bumper? It looks good. No frills keep cost down just does what it needs to holds a winch and has recovery points, maybe jacking points? And of course retractable rockets or machine guns

I don't know if Brian is saying the same thing but I think if I had a criticism it's that in the front view the bottom piece could be less tall I.e. I don't need the bumper that thick/deep

Brian - that looks great. Exactly what I am looking for. Where did you get your fender flares?

thanks

The flares are FlexiFlares, they came from Lucky8. Ive had them on for a while now theyve held up good so far. On a side note thats a one off non winch Rockstar bumper (thats the only one he ever made without a winch tray)

Thats DOM tubing and its a lot heavier then what you would think. I'm not fond of the tube style myself but it fits tighter to the body then any other aftermarket bumper Ive seen. Personally the Rovertym A bar is about the best looking best built bumpers for these trucks I just dont have the extra money for one or else I'd have one on it now.
