Default Wj winch bar

So after looking around at the different winch bars available and seeing the lack of local availability and prices the only one I liked was the flatland 4x4 bar , I do like the xrox tube style bars but the don't make them for the wj So I cracked the welder out this morning and knocked one up myself, I still have to make the radiator support guard and something to mount my light bar on but that has to wait until I get more material . So here is a few pics to start with

Yeah does look good but may i suggest a radiator protection bash plate.
The radiator support member is only tin and bends easily , its also in a exposed position.

Not bad but your picture layout makes it very hard to follow on a standard size screen.

Are you going to do anything to protect those (now) low hanging inner fender sections under the headlights. I can see them getting smashed on a rock ledge or embankment.
