Do you have more photos of how the front bumper is mounted, and how far back the frame is cut? I'm thinking about doing the same to mine, but with a winch plate in top of the frame.

Guess it took more than a couple of hours. Here's some pics of how much I cut off and for now I have it welded in a couple of spots on the frame until I make the bracket. I'm going to mount the winch between the frame rails. Since my body is lifted I have the room and I have another tranny cooler that I'm mounting higher to make more room. The tow hooks are getting mounted inside the frame rails and have to weld tabs to bolt the steel plating on to take the place of the temporary steel mesh being held on by bailing wire.( Proof I'm from Texas and a Redneck). I would suggest you mount your winch where you want it first, then cut away. I cut mine back far because of my body lift and needed a radical approach for the washes out here.View attachment 21098 View attachment 21099 View attachment 21100

Dude that looks great. I definitely have a better idea of how\what to do. What did you use to make the bumper? Is that squre tube?
1"1/4 round tubing. Mainly because I had it in the garage already. I would recommend 1"1/2 - 2"
