1979  Bronco bumper 

Not quite the beginning of Dean's front bumper, but the first hands-on after several hours of measuring and drawing it out.  We decided to cut the grill and modify the core support in order to maintain the Warn 8274 upright winch without the loss of approach angle.  We are hoping for a 4" gain.

The bumper is on and waiting for finishing supports, top plates and paint.  The '79 is getting a 1" body lift to make room for the larger tires and bumper supports that are needed to combat those pesky trees that like to jump in the way of full-size 4x4s on Jeep trails.
