Default Am I on track?

I guess it may be too late to return if I am not.

Anyway, this is what I have been doing all weekend. I still have to finish out a few welds, mount the light tabs, mount the D-Rings, and buff it out. At this point, it will go to the powder coaters.

Very nice fab job, different shape than anything I've seen, it's a stubby (awesome what I have too) and you built it yourself I take it. Will look nice coated as well. Personally I think everyone is powercoat happy, unless you're doing a color. Nothing like whiteblasting steel, zince 2-pt epoxy primer and 2-part expoxy black to NOT rust like most of the powdercoating jobs on the market.

Thanks for the compliments. I am sore and tired from working this metal for so many hours this weekend. I will hopefully finish it up tonight and it will be worth the work.

Yes, you're definately on the right track. It's got a different shape, and I really like how low the winch is mounted.

Very Nice!


I like how it appears you have wraped the plate around the back side..
So many bumpers seem to be open and collect all the crap inside there.
Again, Looking forward to the finished product.

I packed mine full of mud this weekend, fun getting it in there but sucks getting it out. Very nice job, the winch sits nice and low and the bumber looks very sturdy.

I would say you are on the right track
