Re: Winch Bumper for 1990 Suburban
All these angular fabricated bumpers are bice work and pieces of art. But that plate steel will still bend or twist given the right off road action. Then they'll look crappy and be hard to fix. For my money I keep them simple and use either c-channel or tube stock. Can't beat tube for strength in all directions. I like the 2x4 and 2x6. Just hang the center where it needs to be for the winch and angle the ends back to the body. Bend diamond plate for the top. I cut the ends to be in line with the sides of the truck and weld plate to close it up. I like 4" round tube as well. Just harder to work with. I think that's what my '72 will get when a winch goes on
