You will understand my reasoning once I post the next set of pictures! I am almost done...just a little bit more welding and then some paint!



My new recovery points are stronger and more functional...you will soon see!



Stay Tuned!

Excited to see....



I know I plan to replace mine with a "quick access" idea I have.... After I learn how to weld that is...

So the Front Winch Bumper Project is Complete and I feel a total sucess!



Here are some of the pics before it gets covered in mud tomorrow and the Mighty 15000lbs Winch gets his first workout!

All Done...I think it looks great!

Looking from the side I feel the overall effect on approach angle is minimal compared to the original hitch type set-up...but that is yet to be seen offroad!

I will post some pics tomorrow in the daylight and on the trails!



Enjoy! And Stay Tuned!

I was looking into buying a rhino bumper for my H2..... but filling the tow ring pockets, adding some shackle mounts and adding those ears almost looks better...... Awesome job!

Thanks!
 
I had considered almost all the bumpers but then decided that the only way I could really get what I wanted was to build it myself!
 
Btw, I also posted my rear winch bumper build!
 
Thanks Again!
