Newbie Custom Bumper Opinions

Im 17 and i weld as a hobby and as a job. Im building a new front bumper replacement for my 96 T100. I wanted an ARB but dont have the money so i thought id fab my own. I got a piece of 10" C channel and cut and bent it to fit my truck like an ARB. I cut it at angles like the ARB's as well. The mounting brackets are tricky but ive figured them out. I was thinking about cuttin out a triangular piece l;ike the ARBS and doing the wraps the same. What do you think. I was thinking about putting a bought grille guard on the bumper to save time but i culled that idea.

Let me know what you think?????

Will post pics asap of truck and bumper if yall would like.

Thanks

You are well on your way. It sounds like the bumper I was going to build just not enough time .

I am sure pictures would be good
