Thanks guys (and gals) I really appreciate it. The only thing left to do is mount me some D-shackle mounts.

99 ranger, your bumper didn't take nearly as much customizing as his. But I do have to admit that your bumper will stop a dump truck. HA HA HA.

Looks real good Ben! I like it, should hold up pretty well. Get rear-ended and let us know how strong it is(or hit a tree).

Ok guys I finally got my D-shackle mounts fab'd up and put on! Here is a few pics of the back side of the bumper so yall can see exactly how it was built.






I had to use the factory bumper brackets for now. It shouldnt be long before I can have some beefier ones built. I can cut any of these welds off then. Here is a pic of the shackle mount and how it was put into place. They are welded straight to the frame bracket so if I do pull from it, it'll pull from the bracket instead of the bumper itself.



And here is the finished bumper!!

Looks great, I would hate run into the back of that!

Do you plan on building one for the front?

Yeah, eventually. Im trying to decide if I want a pre-runner style or one that matches the rear.
