Building a bumper for my 1st gen runner Need some ideas

hey guys picked up a harbor fright bender So not looking to do anything extreme just wanting to build a pretty simple front bumper. Can you guys post some pics of your front bumpers and how you mounted them. Am not going to be using a winch plate so mounting points might be a little tricky. But please post some pics of your custom 1st gen 4runner bumpers to give me an idea.
Thanks AJ
Here is my truck right now 0% armor
the grey one

you might as well include a winch plate, just so if you change your mind later all you gotta do is put the winch in... just my $.02

Id put the winch in now. You can also get just the winch mount from TG and build tube off of that, that way, its mounted nice and secure.

i really like marlin crawlers bumpers! may use that as insperation. but i second hillbillyyoter use/ build a winch mount plate. then if you want one later you do not need to make a new one. if you never put one in... your not really out anything.


ps. love the half doors!
