My buddy is building square body bumpers that work with various winch mounts he sent me one of his prototypes to test fit on mine and give him feed back.

Prototype bumper for cucvs and civilian trucks.

Looks good. A matching rear wood be cool too.
I like the design.
Will the production units have slotted mounting holes?
I realize our old junk is tweaked a bit but the large slots do not give me a warm fuzzy feeling.
I won the Four By Design Gamma bumper kit at Blazer Bash and although I have not got it yet I'm hoping for a bit tighter mounting holes on it.

I'm, sure he can make the mounting holes smaller, I posted for feed back, I'll share it with him.
Thats in the works also
Just stumbled upon the Uinta Garage Gamma bumper YouTube Vid and also pics of DIY Gauntlet bumper, all the mounting holes are slotted about the same as the prototype you have.
I totally understand non slotted holes will probably not be user friendly for our bent/old junk, just being too picky I guess.
I really do like the design though. Looking forward to the final product.
Request no holes, and drill your own. I am sure they would be up for that
I’d like to see it mounted on a finished Blazer. Looks pretty cool but hard to tell without a finished vehicle. I like that people are still coming out with new products for squares.
It's been tested on his truck, the winch box is designed to work with a behind the bumper winch mount it does not hold a winch, yet
Put some cucv tan on the bumper, it looks pretty good. 
I like it, to me it still has the original look to it.
after I painted it tan i was like yes this looks like it was meant to be there
We are going to change the angle of the ends of the bumper that meet the fender.
Looks good. My 2 cents is the top of the bumper should be a bit taller to cover the lower grill valance like the factory bumper. Otherwise it's super cool.
No soup for you.
Am curious what will fit in the rectangle openings on sides

3/4 ton status
I was going to suggest making a curved cut that mimics the factory bumper, but if isn’t being cut using a CNC cutter then that wouldn’t be feasible. I’d like to see how changing the angle looks.
Lights, I'll get the link!
A few revisions. The feed back you guys are giving is very helpful, thank you.
