Custom Built Winch Bumper-LX470 (1 Viewer)

[RicksAdventures]

Have any of you built your own front end/winch bumper? I cant justify(read: 'afford') the price tag of a Slee or an ARB. Materials to build and bedline one for myself would come in under $400. A guy on Expedition Portal did it on a GX 470( Front bumper build. Step by step guide... - Expedition Portal ), and the body lines on the LX are simpler so I'd think it wouldn't be tremendously difficult. Have any of you fabbed one up?

Thanks!
