Well, I decided I needed a winch and something a little beefier up front.  While I loved the approach angle on the stubby bumper Dave made for me, I decided to give a little of that up in exchange for these things.  The first step (for me) was to make up the basic blade for the bumper and figure out where it is going to mount.  After making the blade I clamped a couple pieces of flat bar to the frame and adjusted the position from there.  I decided to mount it several inches higher than the stock position to help with clearance and approach.

I had to mount it our several inches further than I would have liked to make room for the winch.  I swept back the corners to keep similar lines to the body, but left them far enough away that if I was to smash into something really hard it wouldn't get into the body panels.

Next I knotched the bumper to accept the winch plate.  This will help me dial in the winch position to make sure it is as tight as possible.

The plate and winch are in place, but not welded.  I used a Warn winch with an integrated mount because it takes the most space.  I could have mounted it tigher with the XD9000 I'm going to run, but I wanted to make sure that if I ever decided to go with one of the other models it would fit.

You can see how tight it fits in this picture.  It looks like there is extra room around the bumper, but this is tight as you can make it and clear the grill.

These pictures show the increased clearance of the bumper.  Both G's have 35's and while Harold's rig (www.4x4abc.com) has 3" of lift I have 5" of lift.  You can really tell by looking at where the top of the winch sits how much higher my bumper sits than stock.

I still have to cut down the bumper to the right width, design a brush bar and finish everything out.  Keep checking back as I finish out the project.
