@Pete M it’s tied into a set of DirtBound builder brackets. My truck’s never had front hooks as long as I’ve owned it so I’ll have to take note to buy the extra bolts.
@Pete M I used the Dirtbound builder brackets to design it. The drivers side ties into the steering box bolts, I also have their steering box brace. But the bumper itself only uses the 3 main bolts. Most bumpers I see on the market do this. I’ve thought about welding the passenger side tie in to the frame though.
@BeatCJso sorry for not responding. Life has gotten in the way with all the current craziness. I managed to cute the winchplate and wing skids but an error was made with the wing tops in auto cad and they’ll need recut. Here’s half a finished product. Pictured is the 1” gap in my wing top plate. The guy that’s doing my cutting is pretty tough to get ahold of. So it’s been a process. Even finding clevis tabs has been a problem. Had to hand draw one and a local machine shop is making me a one off set. I’d like to finish it when I drop my trans Wednesday.
Good news, I’m cutting tomorrow. So I’ll post pics of the mockup, gussets, etc. tomorrow night. Working on piecing it together for maybe doing some press-broke pieces but it won’t be mandatory for building. You’ll just have to weld a few more seems.
It sticks out 8.5” from the grill and I believe it’s a total of 6” in height. I’m trying to keep it low-profile. Should give you 2” of space to clear a winch.
@BeatCJ I’m not a shop or a manufacturer, but I’ll give the CAD files for free so you can take to your local steel supplier or shop with a plasma table.
