Here is a link to a conversation about this very topic from a few years ago and my 2 cents on the subject at post #17 with some help full tips. With pics !

Looks good.

 

 

However, if you want it to be quite a bit stronger, I recommend you add pieces to it like this:

I'd say the red ones for sure, the blue ones are a bit more optional. Unless it really is just for looks. Otherwise the pieces that are sticking out will get bent rather easily.

 

As I said, it's more about design than materials.

Ya I was thinking that but my friend didn't like the look of it so we left the red ones off

If it's just a mall crawler, it will be ok as it is.  Triangulation would definitely give it a bit more lateral stability/strength.    Turned out looking nice in any case.  Have plans to make one for your truck next?

If ya look at my build thread you'll see that I already have nates 4x4 front bumper and rock sliders but I bought some rear bunker mounts from him a few moths ago and have supplies to make myself a new rear bumper. But it's just one of those things I haven't gotten around to doing haha
