Default About to...

I'm about to mount a 8000lbs Mile Marker into it with the rough country factory bumper winch mount. I really like the shape and look of the factory bumper and didn't have an extra $1000.00 lying around to buy the ones close to it. List me as a friend and remind me in a few weeks I'll send a pic.

here is a photo of the way mine turned out. After removing the bumper I mounted the plate to the top of the frame rails. Then I cut out the bumper to fit around the winch plate. Put it back on and it works great.
