It is it's a weld yourself kit so when we had that freeze down here in texas I fired up the gennie and put it together. Then I put a coat of raperliner on it. With some ebay 3x3 light pods. Im hoping to put a winch in that middle section and mount it between the Frame rails. your front end looks killer my man. Did you do one for the rear as well ?

Very nice. Very clean.
 
Warn transformer bumper with some extra stuff. I added the C channel crossbar with the clevis mounts. Worked great the other day when me and a duramax had to pull a 3/4 loaded Kenworth sideways. I was hooked to the front of the KW and the Duramax was hooked to the front of the Jimmy.

Man that think looks like it's ready for some serious business. As far as winches I might have to look into warn I know there pricey but I might get lucky
 
I picked up that 8274 from my wife's cousin for dirt cheap, replaced the solenoids with a waterproof Albright and ran new cables. Picked up an in cab winch control from 12voltguy.com. Well worth it all the way around. Your winch setup and bumper is VERY clean. That green multilayer strap is on Fleabay for a reasonable amount and can connect the 2 clevis's together and still allow you to pull slightly off center.

I'm going to have to keep an eye out to the local market places. Hopefully I find something similar. Thanks man for the compliment,your set up isn't to shabby either.
 
Man that thing looks awesome custom built I'm assuming?
 
Its offroad designs low pro bumper with a warn vr12 winch and auxbeam 7" lights
 
Looks down right sick my man. Thank you for sharing. Any rear bumpers out there?
 
Im looking at the diy4x tube bumper for the back and adding a swingaway to it
 
Here's my rear bumper, it's a DIY4X Gauntlet that I had modified (no wrap around ends, mounts higher & tighter than usual).

My own design double swing out. My welds are far from great but it will not go anywhere either. I angled each side just enough so that when you pull the 1 inch hitch pin, each side swings out just a little bit. The bolts are greasable and picked up at etrailer for not that much. Only drawback is that I only have 1 recovery pt. Either the hitch pin or the 2" receiver.

Here's my rear bumper. I'm using a D44 hub/spindle as the swingout pivot. It allows it to lock when it's open to hold it in place. I've got a second hub/spindle to change out the basket to allow it to swing out also.

Well I built that front one to hold an old school Warn and some recessed light cubes. That winch happens to be the old Belleview 8k model that I restored a while back and is crazy fast but only spools out on a manual brake.
The rear I just finished a couple weeks ago and wanted something that looked clean and fit my build.
