Found my 'new'winch bumper

Awesome find, it's waiting for me to come get it, very cheap. Current owner says it's welded on Thinkin' I might do some weld-on shackle mounts or D-rings after I get it home.

Partly joking, I'm not a crawler guy. My rig is for hunting and some light mud. No rock anywhere near me.

Ha! Those bars are ugly but they might prevent damage at deer crossin's, I'm still conflicted between aesthetics and function.

ha, I won't disappoint. Some cousins will be able to fab/weld some mounts to the bumper so I can bolt it on to my truck, then they can sand blast/paint.

well you can see by his U of O logo he is clearly a follower not a leader! just messin, I'm a OSU alumni so I had to give you a hard time LSUfan.

The bumper has potential, cant wait to see it cleaned up.
