These have been some awesome pics and building threads guys! has anyone ever built one that looks like/or is similar to this: 

 

Keep the ideas and building specs coming guys!

That is a factory brush guard/add on at dealership.

 

Put one on my hatch i need to cut out the winch plate and weld a bigger one in.

Pic of one on the 82 brat i had

Then there is the factory winch bumper. Only pic i could find without looking for hours. I have one for my 85 brat. It looks way better than that pic shows. Mine will be white and the brat will be bright red.

I installed the factory winch bumper you have in the past pic on my buddies 90 wagon. Had to doña little fab work but it looks great. I didn't realize it was a factory bumper.

some photos of a guard that goes in front of the standard bumper rather than replacing it., including a close up of the attaching brackets

hope it may help

 

for MY series, including brumby/Brat

I would like to build one that is similar to the factory one. Do you think you could provide a few specs? Like how long the top bar vs the bottom bar is? And how far between them? Also, which material should I use? I was thinking 6061 T3 aluminum, since it is close to as hard as steel and is very weldable, and would also keep the weight down.

I'm gonna start a front/rear bumber build for my BRAT soon, thanks for posting all the pictures.
