I found this photo on the net and I've been trying to find some more info on it. I already have a sick Discovery for crawling and serious off-roading so the goal with the CRD is built a nice destination vehicle that get's great mileage and can take us to remote camping/hiking/climbing sites. I want to keep weight and wind drag down to a minimum so things like a winch bumper and roof rack are not on my list. I don't intend to do any crazy wheeling with it but I still want to fit a winch to the front for emergencies, etc... The idea of using the front stock bumper and building a basket is a perfect one for me and my needs. If anyone can provide any more info that would be sweet.
Scroll down almost to the bottom and you'll see it. Has a snorkel on it as well. It looks like he used a factory brush guard and built a winch bucket into it. My only concern would be that it's not near strong enough....

Any suggestions?
