Post your Bumper!

Post pics of your front bumper! Looking for ideas on my 88 4runner. This was a good sticky on a quad forum I used to go on....maybe it would work good here??

Thanks Sean. It's been working extremely well. I busted the winch cable last time we went wheeling (pulling out a 2500HD), but the bumper held up fine.

I've got an 8k winch, but it only weighs 80 lbs

Yeah, the six holes are enough. It is recommended to use a front cross member reinforcement kit, for heavy winching. You can get that from most of the off road vendors.
Thanks for the compliment on the bumper. My buddy and I built it.

Thanks man. There are a bunch of pics in my build thread (link in sig), along with all the back and forth about if and when I was going to build these to sell. We were so close, but things just didn't work out. I still have a bunch of tubing, and if my buddy and I decide to drop a grand on another bender and notcher, we might get back into building them again, some day.

Can't play yet as I'm finally going to order up my Marlin Front and Rear. What I would like to see is if someone had been able to take a Marlin rear and make a decent swingout tire carrier with only a single pivot point (spindle) and single catch.

I don't have a good sketchup, but really how hard is it to make a decent single pivot swingout??

Maybe Scott will chime in??
