if you get rid of it give me a price i got dibs
The stinger bar is to help protect the front end from all those pesky deer and elk that plague our roads. As for the winch. I haven't added it yet. There is other work to be done that's more important.
The tubing is role cage material. I had it bent at a local fab shop. No harbor freight sh** in my shop! Yours???
There's no light tabs because I don't know where I want to mount them yet.
i agree with the anti-antler protection seems like those things are everywere on that side of the walla-walla river gets sketchy......
Maybe your looking in the wrong places!

I'll remember; You have dibs if i build another.
As for the deer and elk, you are right. Just take a drive up Mill creek on your way to Black Snake.
I go up that way hunting all the time. You dodge deer all the
way up!! i've been planning on building a big bumper for my Dodge cummins truck just for that reason.
Roughly how much plate steel did you use?
How thick was it?
I like it with or without the stinger.
Personally I think the stinger sets it off.
Good Job

a deer or elk would bend/rip that off at a good speed. Roll cage material is pretty vague, HREW or DOM? And that does look like a HF bender, the tubing is kinked at the bends.
i like it though, very similar to the one i built, except one bend in the stinger and regular d-rings.
I'm pretty sure I saw a faint remnant of a stripe on a piece in someone's build thread a while ago, but I could be remembering wrong, it's happened many times. Thanks for the correction!DOM has no stripe besides the lay-line (the writing)

ive been told my metal supplier employees, that you can feel an inner ridge on HREW, but ive not found this to be the case. The hrew i buy locally has no ridges, but an obvious brownish weld line down the tube. im guessing theres variances in metal depending on where its produced etc (i dont care to get into that! why reinvent the wheel, hrew is good, dom is great!,4130 is a pipe dream!)
I would have to say it was HREW tubing. It seems I remember a brownish stripe on it. I wouldn't have known the difference. I've built tube bumpers for all my (12) Toyota projects, but other than that I'm no steel fabricator. I'm a 15 year carpenter/superintendent with a back ground in mechanics. This is my first project since my divorce 6 years ago. It's been that long since I've touched a set of wrenches, or a welder. I've never done this kind of fab work before. i usually buy all my stuff and bolt it on.
This time I decided to build it all my self.
