New bumper I built. Thoughts?

Well I spent a bit of time with a new hand powered pipe bender working on a front bumper for my little 2wd because i riped the silly plastic stock one off. It might be a little over kill but I like it and it only cost me 50 bucks and some work. I will post up some pics later tonight so yall can take a look and tell me what you think.

Tube looks good, front stinger is a bit largish though.

for mounting i used some angle iron to set the spacing then I welded about 8" of 1.5" square tubing and drilled a hole through the frame and bolted it down nice and tight

I have mixed feelings on the matter. But good work. I'd like to make my own tube front bumper someday this gives me a few idears.

Hey what do you call a dear with now eyes? No Idear. Get it, get it....Sorry. Lack of sleep drove me to it.
