Default Proline Western Bumpers

I'd like to mount these to the frame rather than the body. I've got a coupe of ideas but thought I'd see if anyone else has attempted to fab a mount. Seems like the main issue is going to be securing the mount to the bumper. I'll throw some pics up later with any progress that I've made.

Default Simple solution







Used some aluminum rods I had laying around. Cut them to length so they would mount to the outside of the frame. The holes in the bumper that I assume are for mounting lights in were the exact width apart to allow for this. I had to reduce the od of the rods so they would fit in the hole and I also threaded them for extra security. I drilled a hole in the center of them as well and tapped them so that I can put screws through the front of the bumper also. I also made a plate to mount the winch to that is mounted to the bumper.
