As promised here are the pics of the modifications the past couple of days, remember the final installation pics will be up on Monday.



So before I went to much further I had to mark out and cut the hole in the lower part of my bumper for the winch fairlead mount to fit thru.



Here it is marked out;

Once cut I did a test fit to be sure with all parts in place;

So now that I know that everything will fit and does fit, it is time to start welding everything into place. In order to be able to weld my plate in I first needed to level some surfaces to ensure a solid foundation;

Now that the foundation is ready the main plate gets welded in;

Since I am always asking myself, 'Is it strong enough' I decided to add some side braces to help when I do the hard side pulls;

Now everything is welded and prepped for paint;

Here is the first coat of bed liner coating...I think it looks good!

So the final stages will be done on Monday.



Have a Happy Easter!

Afterall, you didn't think I would make a custom rear winch bumper and then I wouldn't make a matching front did you???



Stay Tuned! But Look for a separate post!!



See you all on the trails soon!
