This one isn't quite as fancy as some of the others available, but I don't think you'll find a better price.

Know any good welders with spare time? That is your best bet for a cheap bumper

Winch Ready makes a sweet bumper but last I checked, they were $900 before shipping and came in bare metal, so you still need to paint/powder coat/Line-X or whatever.

you are right Tom. last time i looked at the that site. he was advertising 700 or 800 for over stock reasons.

i was planning on making my own. but i snag some pic from their website for guide.

Yup, I'm using their design for "inspiration" as well.

I used tactical armour as my inspiration, should be finished welding it this week and installed by the weekend, also got some body sliders made up matching the bumper. I'll post some pics but they'll be in my Sig pic cause I still can't get pics loaded online.
