H3 Backwoods custom H3 bumper build thread

[backwoods]

BW....I can't believe you went thru all that welding and grinding and didn't incorporate a winch mount! Thats a ton of work to do, and you did such a nice job...only to bolt the shelf bracket on top of it. Sort of looks like its an afterthought or something...especially leaned forward like that. I vote you cut up the CB and somehow fuse the two designs together (preferably level), or at least do some mods to the CB-mount so it blends better with your bumper.

Started on the rear one yet?

Ive been thinking about that fuse together and getting that angle right ...or going back and cut into it and build a fairlead mount but i used 11ga steal and i think it will give away

Yeah, definitely the nicest looking bumper I've seen. I love how it opens up the wheel area... as long as you put the big rocks there, you're not touching squat! Nice to see looks & function. (would be cool to see the winch incorporated though... but still looks great!)

Looks like quite a bit! Now, just try to see how steep of a step you can get it without flipping over / hitting the bumper.
