I'm going to mount the bottom of the winch foward to give it a bit more strength.




And here is the start of the bumper

Nice, I need to get with you and make some bumpers for mine too. Gawd awful stock ones are NOT going back on.

Do what Phil did on his Land Cruiser, he has an electric pump to pump fuel from the auxiliary tank to the main tank and has it wired to a toggle switch.

My front bumper wont be built for pure strength, it will have areas that we stupidly reinforced but most of it will be 1/8 inch steel plate. my rear will be 1/4 for most and even more stupidly reinforced. I have 2 20,000 pound d rings that are going on the back.

I told you I have the one that we put on Eric's Explorer sitting on the side of my house. We pulled it from a full size Bronco and I cut 10 inches from the middle and then sleeved it back together. I probably still have the sections I cut out if you want to cut it and weld them back in.

Do you have a winch for the back too? It might be worth fabricating up a mount that can be swapped from the front to the back just in case. Oh and don't forget an on board air compressor for filling up those tires. After they have been aired down.
