If there is a harder way - I will find it...
Finally got around to installing my 4x4 Labs bumper and winch I picked up last fall. It is replacing the old factory bumper and badlands 12k winch set up. I was surprised that difference in weight between them was within 5 lbs of each other (I used synthetic rope on the new winch).
Only one complaint on the Labs bumper. I wish the punched holes in the lower skid lined up with the mounting holes for the winch above. What a pain. Still not happy with the mount as I could not torque down the two front mounting bolts the way I would like. Used a crow foot but started rounding the bolts and backed off.

Is the fender you took the snorkel off of not a good enough template?
What’s the plan for the old bumper?

My 80 lost her spot in the garage to start working on a 3rd gen 4Runner that if she plays her cards right will end up being my daughters
She’s off to a good start. We made a list of to dos and she gave it a bath.

I sold the cruiser with a hole in the fender. New owner only wanted the chassis not the body

Paper towel holder, using the roof plug holes!
Tailgate storage, mostly done!

Will be selling it the first opportunity I can. I have been slammed with work for the last year and taking any time off to do something like this kills me. Yes, I work 7 days a week...

I don’t like the idea of driving around town with 1000 pounds of armor on my truck, (I’m in Austin and have to drive a ways to wheel) so I pulled it all off. Then I didn’t like having the front end naked.
I’ve had something like this in mind since I decided not to throw away the post from my son’s unused basketball goal. Took about three hours of cutting and welding. It looks goofy as hell. Posting for a good laugh.
I'm wondering if narrowing it will improve the look, or if I should add something to it. I guess I should just put my winch bumper back on. It was an interesting little project.

It sure beats a SoloFlex bumper! Am'right @phrogg4evr
How thick is the material? Suppose better than stock sheet metal.

Yup, that is an old 'mud member @tofubeast. I think that thread got burnt. 
It was a classic.
The best is part of the cut up Soloflex machine haning out by the tire.
Guessing the whole solo flex was welded on first, then cut away everything that didnt look right. Guy really nailed it.
Rust remediation cont.
inside the passenger quarter. tried to get in there to clean, convertor on lil surface rust, next spay painted
bought a chunk o'cruiser from a fellow in the classifieds. He nicely cut off the bottom corner of a red wagon and mailed it. I cut out just what was needed. If you remeber selling me one it is getting used now.
