[QUOTE="nossliw, post: 1171315, member: 10001"] That bumper in that AEV web add sure looks slick, but as a "bumper" beside housing the winch it doesn't seem all to functional to me. Protecting the nose, hitting animals, actually protecting the grill and front of the truck, etc. one I built... I wanted the winch exposed with quick disconnects in case I wanted to mount it in the receiver, or rear receiver.... lets be real, you are not always winching forward....[ATTACH=full]148865[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]148866[/ATTACH] Best advice I have is build it so the weight is "sitting" on the frame, not hanging. Adds shear load to the bolts, which most do not properly drill putting all the load on 1 or two bolts. Box in the frame and strengthen it, 99% of people out there do not do this, and heck did rob05 use 1/2" plate??? Nice work! Built a damn battering ram. I used 3/8 and 1/4" for mine, and with the 16.5 Warn it weight over 500 lbs... so take that into consideration with adding an inch or two into the front suspension lift. Or build it so its light and looks good and box/gusset your joints for when they will take a hit. [/QUOTE]
