My Bumper Build
Nobody makes a bumper for a Cherokee that accepts a Warn 8274 winch so I decided to make my own. In doing so I decided to post a little build thread. I made this thing as I built it, no pre planning or drawings. Let me know what ya think. Hope It works.
The start
The cosmetic part
I still have a little bit to do but so far I have around six hours into this thing it better hold DAMMIT!

I used the 3 bumper holes on each side, then on the driver side I used all the steering box mount holes and then the large hole behind those. On the Pass. side I used 2 holes behind the factory bumper mount holes.

Yesterday I finished up a little welding I had to do then ground down all the welds(that really sucks to do). Then today I got it all primed and painted.
The nice neon green bottom
Tommorrow I hope to get it all mounted and my winch all hooked up. More pictures will come.

I put a three core radiator in it and put a 160 degree t stat which helps plus I'll probably have to raise the hood in the back. I was bored and antsy so I went in the garage and got it mounted. I put the winch in and it didn't fit I made it about a half inch to short so I had to cut the grill a little. I'll post more pics tomorrow. I have to take my winch down to Hackshack so we can get the brake off and do some work to it. The 8274 is dated 1-79 so I think the brake is shot. I had to put a hundred dollars in solenoids in it but I got it for a song ($9) just ask Roland.

I got it mounted last night. Today I had to do some cutting of my grill because I made the bumper a half inch to short for the winch to mount in properly. I did a little field testing with it too.
This one shoes how I had to cut the grill you can also see it in the first one
My little helper and wheelin buddy
Oh yeah if anybody asks the battery cable is connected, just kidding
