That front range off road crossmember brace seems like it would work pretty good and looks pretty clean <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />, to you think it would work to have one welded as it was intended, and then have another to build a front bumper off of? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> see is how the holes are drilled and in the perfect position, then you could just bolt it right on. Reason being is that i don't know where to get flat steal that thick to make the mounting for the bumper that i want to make. If i could use that crossbrace, it would save a lot of time, and probably money as well. Any ideas or comments, anything to get me going or stop a bad idea. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/patriot.gif" alt="" />

I plated mine up on all sides using 3/16 steel. Even ran the end plates down the frame rail a little for extra strength. Now I just gotta get off my a$$ and build a bumper for my winch.
