Ford Bronco Custom Winch Mount & D-Ring Bumper Plate Sketch (3/4" Plate Design)

This document is a simple hand-drawn schematic (digital sketch) showing a custom winch mount / bumper design as viewed in cross-section or from above, with the vehicle frame rails drawn as black brackets and the fabricated steel parts drawn in red. The design consists of a 3/4-inch winch mount plate that runs all the way across between the frame rails, attached to each frame rail with three bolts on the outside of the frame and two on the bottom side. At each end, a 3/4-inch plate comes up through the bumper and has a hole for D-rings (recovery shackles); these end plates are welded to the main winch mount plate. The sketch was uploaded to the gallery of a 1986 Ford Bronco, though the drawing itself contains no year, make, model, dimensions (other than 3/4-inch plate thickness), part numbers, or torque specifications. A reader can learn the general fabrication concept: full-width 3/4" plate winch mount bolted to the frame in five points per side, with welded 3/4" D-ring tabs protruding through the bumper.
