I've been considering trimming my OE bumper down to somewhere near your fabricated one. Then making a front plate from 75x25 box that will carry tow points, not far off where you are.....

I would say 6 or 8 mm C section steel will work better

something like this on J999MNY was easy to make and it attaches to the jimnybits towpoints (its original plate is on show, thats how long this thing has been stuck there!).
That is mostly box section and a bit of thin plate. Not intended to bash holes in the countryside, just neaten up and cover the chassis rail ends. That was before i chopped a big hole in it for the winch :laugh:
J999 MNY, ULYSSES M18 VVT with ITB's Dyno tested at 130hp
Pickup/tipper, R7me gearbox & 6.4 Rocklobster, 31" Toyo MT, 2x ARB air locker 3.9 diffs in braced axles, 6" total lift, Floating rear conversion, Raptor painted, CB, Recaro's, Caged, etc, etc...

Thats pretty close to what I was imagining, linked in to the chassis legs on mine, as I won't have the winch plate. A couple of weld on 3t lifting points and I was maybe thinking of a front tow ball.....
