Air storage??? Never thought of a front reciever hitch I was just gunna put anchor shackles on it I never heard of someone using a receiver hitch on the front bumper... I want maximum protection with a good approach angle my dad has a old warn winch he gave me and for where we wheel/hunt/camp a winch is a absolute necessity to have... what thickness of plates do people usually use on a plate style? and round tubing whats good tubing to use or the best I want the strongest is that DOM??? I would rather buy the sliders than fab them...

if you put the receiver hitch in the front and put one on the back, then you can mount your winch on a mount to go in the receiver hitch, that way you can easly have it in the front or back

custom bumper
if its your first bumper mabe just stick with regular tubing instead of chromoly to save some dough. probably use 120 wall anything thinner will flex too much, use 1 1/2" tubing and mabe some 1" for gusseting and re-enforcement

To save money and weight but still retain plenty of strength....
I use DOM for the main bar and stinger.....HREW for the rest (larger braces and such).....and smaller (either 1 1/2 or 1") tube for gussets
